W013: Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions
What this means
The skill prompts the agent to compromise the security or integrity of the user’s machine by modifying system-level services or configurations, such as obtaining elevated privileges, altering startup scripts, or changing system-wide settings.
Why it was flagged
Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions detected (high risk: 0.80). The skill instructs creating and writing system-level files and cron entries (e.g., /var/backups, /opt/backup-scripts, /etc/backup.key, scheduling as user postgres), which require elevated privileges and would modify the machine state even though it doesn't explicitly say "use sudo".
