note this clause from their terms and conditions:
A. Third Party Accounts. By using the Service, you authorize Yodlee to access third party sites designated by you, on your behalf, to retrieve information requested by you. You hereby authorize and permit Yodlee to use information submitted by you to the Service (such as account passwords and users names) to accomplish the foregoing and to configure the Service so that it is compatible with the third party sites for which you submit your information. For all purposes hereof, you hereby grant Yodlee a limited power of attorney, and you hereby appoint Yodlee as your true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, for you and in your name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, to access third party sites, retrieve information, and use your information, all as described above, with the full power and authority to do and perform each and every act and thing requisite and necessary to be done in connection with such activities, as fully to all intents and purposes as you might or could do in person. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WHEN YODLEE IS ACCESSING AND RETRIEVING INFORMATION FROM THIRD PARTY SITES, YODLEE IS ACTING AS YOUR AGENT, AND NOT THE AGENT OR ON BEHALF OF THE THIRD PARTY. You agree that Yodlee's third party account providers shall be entitled to rely on the foregoing authorization, agency and power of attorney granted by you.
Does the scope of this worry anyone besides me?

Actually, it looks pretty crisp to me; they appear to have done a good job of phrasing it such that they have power only for the purpose of retrieving, and are making it clear that they're acting on your behalf, not the third party's.
