Is @promptbook/google safe?
- Node.js shell/command execution
- Node.js network egress
What to do: Nothing here argues against installing it. Grant the capabilities it lists only if you expect the tool to need them.
@promptbook/google is an npm package analyzed by SkillTotal's deterministic static scanner. The scan found no malicious indicators. It can: network egress and shell execution — capabilities are what the code can do, not a verdict on intent. Risk score 0/100 (low).
@promptbook/ google 0.114.0-50

Behavioral traits
How this component maps to the CSA agentic threat model. Descriptive — it never affects the risk score.
Findings (2)
The component can run operating-system commands or spawn processes.
import { type ChildProcess } from 'child_process';import type { ChildProcess } from 'child_process';import { type ChildProcess } from 'child_process';import type { ChildProcess } from 'child_process';Why it matters: Powerful and often legitimate — confirm the commands aren't built from untrusted input.
Fix: Confirm the command and its arguments are fully controlled and not derived from untrusted input; prefer execFile with an argument array.
The component makes outbound network requests.

import type http from 'http';
Why it matters: Usually legitimate, but confirm the destinations are expected and no sensitive data leaves.
Fix: Confirm the destination hosts are expected and that no sensitive data is sent off-host.

The free Claude Code plugin scans each npm, PyPI or MCP package with this report's open-source engine before the install command runs. It runs on your machine and needs no account.
