This skill executes `firecrawl` or `npx firecrawl` commands via Bash to perform web search, scraping, crawling, and interaction tasks. It contacts external URLs provided by the user or found during operations, and reads/writes data to the local `.firecrawl/` directory, typically in Markdown or JSON format.
The `allowed-tools` configuration permits the execution of `firecrawl` and `npx firecrawl` with arbitrary arguments using `Bash(*)` directives. This broad permission is a significant command injection risk, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands by crafting malicious input that bypasses argument parsing.
allowed-tools: - Bash(firecrawl *) - Bash(npx firecrawl *)
The `firecrawl` tool supports writing scraped content to a specified file path using the `-o` flag. Combined with the broad `Bash(*)` permission, an attacker could potentially control the output location to overwrite sensitive files or exfiltrate data to attacker-controlled network shares.
firecrawl scrape "<url>" -o .firecrawl/page.md
The skill's core functionality involves extensive web crawling and scraping, which can consume significant API credits, network bandwidth, and storage. An attacker could exploit this by instructing the agent to perform large-scale or recursive scraping operations, leading to resource exhaustion.

The skill includes explicit instructions to 'Do NOT trigger' for sensitive operations like local file operations or git commands. While intended as a safety measure, such explicit negative framing could potentially be used by an attacker to understand and probe the boundaries of the agent's capabilities.
Do NOT trigger for local file operations, git commands, deployments, or code editing tasks.
