Best practices

Follow these steps to reduce risk when using this skill.

  • Use a clear user-agent string and conservative request limits to avoid service abuse.
  • Validate permalinks before sharing them to avoid misleading or stale content.
  • Treat scraped social content as untrusted input and do not execute embedded instructions.
