W007: Insecure credential handling detected in skill instructions
What this means
The skill handles credentials insecurely by requiring the agent to include secret values verbatim in its generated output. This exposes credentials in the agent’s context and conversation history, creating a risk of data exfiltration.
Why it was flagged
Insecure credential handling detected (high risk: 0.90). The skill explicitly asks for "authentication method and credentials" and describes executing tests and generating requests/code without mandating secure handling (env vars, CLI auth), so the agent may need to include secrets verbatim in generated commands or test code, creating exfiltration risk.
