All instructions in `SKILL.md` are transparent, directly related to the stated purpose of web searching, and only direct the agent to interact with `https://lite.duckduckgo.com`. There is no evidence of prompt injection attempting to subvert the agent's behavior for malicious ends, nor any attempts at data exfiltration, unauthorized execution, or persistence mechanisms. The use of `web_fetch` is for a clearly defined and benign purpose.
