ClawAudit verdict

pyzotero-cli

pyzotero

🟢 Trusted

Low risk — reviewed by ClawAudit, behavior matches stated purpose

This skill wraps the pyzotero library for Zotero reference management; credential access is limited to reading ZOTERO_API_KEY from env to authenticate with the official Zotero API, which is fully transparent and expected for this purpose.

⚠ Flagged for review — coarse, uncorroborated signal, not a confirmed exploit. Review the config yourself before installing.

Automated static analysis — not a human review. ClawAudit flags capabilities, not confirmed intent, and can produce false positives. Disagree with this verdict? Use Dispute below.

Why the tier is capped

Execution sink present in raw bytes (Hard Floor: class B/D/F). Final tier capped at Caution — cannot be lifted by any downgrade, example-payload opt-in, or allowlist.
