Security Report

4.2
Use Caution4.2High Risk

The visible code requires an API_TOKEN, sends it only to api.brightdata.com, redacts it from error messages, and wraps external web content as untrusted with a content gate against prompt injection. The main concerns are the truncated tool section, which could not be verified against the scanner's confirmed-dangerous tool names, and startup code that automatically creates billable zones using the user's token. Supply chain analysis found 9 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 4 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
