## Description

Parallel's official server provides real-time web search built for agent consumption, returning ranked results and extracted content in a form intended to be read by a model rather than a person.

Outbound network access is the only declared capability, placing it at the low-risk end. The recurring retrieval caveat applies with full force: search output is untrusted text, and it is the most common way a prompt injection reaches an agent that otherwise only touches your own systems. Pair it with the rule that retrieved content can inform an answer but never authorise an action.

## Why it scored 10

The score starts at the catalog's neutral base of 50 and moves only through the signals below. The formula is published at https://catalog.anomity.ai/about — there is no model and no hidden heuristic.

| Signal | Contribution | Severity | Evidence |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Published by the vendor | -40 | trust offset |  |

Clamped result: **10/100**, band **low**.

## Capabilities

| Capability | Name | Security implication |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `network:outbound` | Outbound network | Can make outbound network requests. Required for hosted model providers and remote APIs; also the path for data exfiltration if combined with read access. |
