🔒 Containment
Level: maximum
Recommended:
- LOG_ACTIONS: Audit trail for all actions
⚡ Risks
Unauthorized tool use: MCP_SYS_CRITICAL_ACCESS high
Mitigation: Avoid accessing system directories unless absolutely necessary.
Social engineering indicators: SOCIAL_ENG_VAGUE_DESCRIPTION low
Mitigation: Provide clear, detailed description of skill functionality
Data exfiltration patterns: MCP_EXFIL_EXTERNAL_UPLOAD high
Mitigation: Document all external data transfers. Remove suspicious upload references.
