Why this rating

Deterministic checks triggered by the tool capabilities and evidence.

  • Locality: Hybrid

    Depends on a configured `SEARXNG_URL` instance and remote search responses.

  • Data access: Public

    Retrieves public search result metadata across selected categories.

  • Action surface: Read

    Commands return search results and do not mutate external system state.

Best practices

Follow these steps to reduce risk when using this skill.

  • Run SearXNG on a trusted host and restrict exposure if it is self-hosted.
  • Avoid sending confidential information as search terms.
  • Validate key findings against source pages instead of relying on snippets alone.

Max-risk rule
