otel-telemetrygen
Build safe, version-pinned telemetrygen commands for synthetic OTLP traces, metrics, and logs. Use for “send sample traces to this collector,” “load-test an OTLP endpoint,” “generate traffic to verify a processor, OTTL transform, or tail sampling,” and “produce test data for dashboards.” Also use when choosing telemetrygen transport, TLS, attributes, counts, duration, or rate. Not for application SDK instrumentation or production collection that does not use telemetrygen.

E005: Suspicious download URL detected in skill instructions.
What this means
Detected a suspicious URL in the skill instructions that could lead the agent to download and execute malicious scripts or binaries. This includes links to executables from untrusted sources, typosquatting of official packages, URL shorteners that obscure the destination, and personal file hosting services.
Why it was flagged
Two URLs (https://attacker.invalid/p and https://attacker.invalid/body) are attacker-controlled endpoints referenced in the prompts and represent high-risk untrusted external resources, while the GitHub tree and localhost health-check are legitimate/benign in this context.
Low
Low-risk findings.
1 low severity finding. Worth noting, but not necessarily harmful.
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
The skill includes docker pull/run image references that are fetched and executed at runtime (for example ghcr.io/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/telemetrygen:v0.158.0, otel/opentelemetry-collector-contrib:0.158.0, and curlimages/curl:8.17.0), so these external images constitute runtime dependencies that execute remote code.
