3 findings — 1 high severity, 2 medium severity. You should review these findings carefully before considering using this skill.

High

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: 0.80). The prompt includes multiple examples that embed API keys/tokens/passwords directly in command-line args, headers, DSNs, and project config files (and suggests committing project-scoped configs), which can cause an agent to output secret values verbatim rather than keeping them in environment variables or secure stores.

Medium

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

Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.90). The SKILL.md explicitly instructs adding HTTP MCP servers pointing at public services (examples: GitHub, Notion, Sentry) and shows using MCP resources (e.g., "Analyze @github:issue://123" and "/mcp__github__list_prs"), which means the agent will fetch and interpret content from external, potentially user-generated public services as part of its workflow.

Medium

W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent)

What this means

The skill fetches instructions or code from an external URL at runtime, and the fetched content directly controls the agent’s prompts or executes code. This dynamic dependency allows the external source to modify the agent’s behavior without any changes to the skill itself.

Why it was flagged

Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 0.90). The skill instructs Claude to connect to MCP HTTP endpoints that are contacted at runtime and can deliver MCP "prompts" which become slash commands (e.g., https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/), meaning external content at that URL can directly control agent instructions.
