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 explicitly recommends giving agents direct file-system and command-execution access (e.g., "operate on the system" using standard Unix utilities and a single command-execution tool), which enables agents to modify system state and potentially perform privileged actions.
