positron-commands

Running Positron IDE commands: changing the window layout, focusing panes, clearing the console, opening a file or data file in the right editor, showing or reading an HTML file, URL or app in the Viewer, finding or adding interpreters, listing, switching, starting, restarting or interrupting sessions, setting up Python, reading, installing or updating a session's packages, running, stopping, debugging or troubleshooting a web app (Shiny, Flask, Dash, Streamlit, FastAPI, Gradio, marimo), reading Data Connections and their tables and columns, creating, editing or running notebook cells, and reading help. Use when the user wants Positron itself to act or to know what is installed, not to run code. Triggers: "show the variables pane", "open data.csv", "show this HTML in the Viewer", "switch to my R session", "my session is stuck", "is pandas installed?", "set up a Python environment", "why won't my shiny app start", "what tables are in my warehouse", "add a cell to this notebook".

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

The workflow reads web pages, URLs, and viewer content via `workbench.action.positronPreview.openUrl`, `positronViewer.read`, and related commands, allowing the agent to fetch arbitrary web content and URLs.
