approve-exempt
Approve pending Harness STO security exemptions (waivers) at their current scope or elevate them to Project, Org, or Account scope. Users say "approve" for both in-scope approval and higher-scope elevation — do not require the word "promote". Supports approving one exemption or a mixed list where each row has a different approval scope. Default workflow lists pending exemptions in chat (paginated preview) so the user picks by row number — no copying from the Harness UI. Use when a user wants to approve, sign off on, or clear pending exemptions, waive approvals, org-wide approval, or account-wide approval. Trigger phrases: approve exempt, approve exemption, approve waiver, sign off exemption, clear pending exemption, approve for org, approve for account, org-wide approval, account-wide approval, pending exemptions.

Suggest reviewing before use
W009: Direct money access capability detected (payment gateways, crypto, banking).
What this means
The skill is specifically designed for direct financial operations, giving the agent the ability to move money or execute financial transactions — such as payment processing, cryptocurrency operations, banking integrations, or market order execution.
Why it was flagged
The skill implements direct financial/operational execution (approving security exemptions and elevating their scopes up to account-wide via API calls), but it operates via an MCP server (`harness-mcp-v2`) with no documented independent access control enforced by the skill itself, relying entirely on the agent's prompts and user interaction.
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
The skill monitors and consumes pending security exemptions via `harness_list`, which reads external request data submitted by users seeking exemptions.
