Why this rating

Deterministic checks triggered by the tool capabilities and evidence.

  • Locality: Hybrid

  • Action surface: Read

Best practices

Follow these steps to reduce risk when using this skill.

  • Use a restricted Google Places API key with IP or referrer limits.
  • Avoid sending precise home or work addresses when a broader location works.
  • Keep the local proxy bound to localhost only.
