What this skill does
Exa Query and Content Policy Guardrails Overview Enforce query, domain, moderation, freshness, content, and downstream-use policy before and after Exa retrieval. Treat credentials, queries, retrieved content, generated output, spend, and destructive state as separately governed boundaries. Prerequisites The target repository, environment, Exa team, product surface, and accountable owner. The workload's data classification, latency and freshness promise, cost ceiling, and retention policy. Current first-party documentation plus credentials only for a narrowly approved live check. Current Contract Search supports include and exclude domains, date filters, categories, user location, and moderation, with documented category incompatibilities. These controls reduce scope but do not replace application authorization, content inspection, attribution, or output policy. Authentication For normal REST work, inject EXAAPIKEY from an approved server-side secret manager and send it only as Authorization: Bearer to the configured first-party Exa API host. Team Management service keys, hosted MCP OAuth or enterprise managed authorization, and payment-protocol calls are separate trust models. Never print, commit, place in a URL, or expose a credential to an untrusted client. Instructions 1. Translate the business purpose into allowed query classes, domains, dates, and outputs. 2. Reject secrets, prohibited personal data, and disallowed investigation intent before retrieval. 3. Apply supported Exa filters and moderation without inventing unsupported combinations. 4. Inspect returned URLs, content, citations, and generated fields against the same policy. 5. Quarantine prompt injection, malware, unverifiable claims, and unexpected sensitive data. 6. Log content-free policy decisions and review exceptions with an accountable owner. Tool Discipline Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect repository code, configuration, fixtures, and evidence. …
