This skill instructs the agent to select an Apify Actor, fetch its schema (via mcpc), and run scrapers. The included script communicates only with api.apify.com and writes outputs to files under the current working directory; it does not access unrelated system files or other environment variables.
Apify Actors only scrape publicly available data and do not collect private or personally identifiable information beyond what is openly accessible on the target platforms. For additional security assurance, you can check an Actor's permission level by querying https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/:actorId — an Actor with LIMITED_PERMISSIONS operates in a restricted sandbox, while FULL_PERMISSIONS indicates broader system access. For full details, see Apify's General Terms and Conditions.
