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 repeatedly shows and instructs embedding access tokens into request headers and example code (e.g., "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" and token = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"), which encourages an agent to accept and include real secret values verbatim in generated requests or code.
Low
Low-risk findings.
1 low severity finding. Worth noting, but not necessarily harmful.
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.
The protocols.io integration’s required runtime workflows can search and retrieve public/user content (e.g., protocol details and step text, plus protocol comments) from the protocols.io API based on keywords/filters, which is outsider-authored free text the LLM may ingest without selecting a specific item first.
