Security review

⚠ Reviewed, with warnings on October 25, 2026

Passive review of the public code, commit d3bee2e of October 25, 2026: 3 SKILL.md file(s), 240 files, 169 script(s). Nothing was run.

What it can do: Finds and runs "Actors" (scrapers and automations) published by Apify and third parties, and reads their results.
Files: No access of its own.
Network: Apify API.
Credentials: Apify API token.
Red flags: none found with our checklist

Warnings

The Actors it runs can come from third-party developers: their code is not covered.
Grey area under social platforms' terms of use (data collected through third-party tools).
Each call can be billed: Actors use your Apify credits.
Repository too large to read line by line: we read the SKILL.md files, the configuration and every line flagged by the scan, not every script in full.
44 dependencies without a pinned version: an update to a third-party package can change behaviour.

A new version can change everything: the review covers the commit above only. Our review method →
