Security
1 high severity finding. You should review these findings carefully before considering using this skill.
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.
The skill instructs users (and shows templates) to embed API keys verbatim in config files and command-line headers (e.g., Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY> and --header "Authorization: Bearer ..."), which would require an LLM to include secrets in generated output and risks exfiltration.
