Sends data to undocumented external endpoint (potential exfiltration)

googleapis.comAI Analysis
The skill's primary operation is a local proxy to the Google Places API, which is a legitimate and documented external service. The 'UNKNOWN_DATA_SINK' signal is a false positive, as the endpoint (127.0.0.1:8000) is the user's own local server, not an external exfiltration point. The main risk is the dependency on a third-party API key, but the skill's behavior aligns with its stated purpose.
