exploring-scouts

How to explore and make sense of PostHog Signals scouts — the scheduled agents that scan a project and write reports into the Signals inbox. Use when a user wants to understand what scouts they have, how each one is behaving, and whether the fleet is actually working. Covers surveying the fleet and its schedules, reading recent scout runs and drilling into a single run's reasoning, inspecting the durable scratchpad memory the fleet has built up, tracing a run to the reports it wrote or edited, and assessing a scout's health and performance over time (cadence, success rate, report rate, signal-to-noise). Read-only and exploratory — to write or tune a scout, use `authoring-scouts` instead. Trigger on "what are my scouts doing", "how is my <x> scout performing", "show me recent scout runs", "why did this scout find/report nothing", "what has the fleet learned", "explore scout run <id>", "is my scout working".

Low

W011: Third-party content exposure detected (indirect prompt injection risk).

What this means

The skill exposes the agent to untrusted, user-generated content from public third-party sources, creating a risk of indirect prompt injection. This includes browsing arbitrary URLs, reading social media posts or forum comments, and analyzing content from unknown websites.

Why it was flagged

In the required runtime workflow for this skill, a user can view and render a specific scout run’s session transcript via `tasks-runs-session-logs-retrieve`, which includes streamed free text from the run such as `user_message_chunk` content and tool input/output (`render_run_report.py` reconstructs and prints `prompt` and tool call inputs).
