🔒 Containment
Level: maximum
Required:
- SANDBOX_CONTAINER: Code execution capability
Recommended:
- LOG_ACTIONS: Audit trail for all actions
⚡ Risks
Unauthorized tool use: INSTRUCTED_BINARY_INSTALL, MCP_SYS_CRITICAL_ACCESS high
Mitigation: Avoid instructing agents to install arbitrary binaries; bundle dependencies or use sandboxed environments
Social engineering indicators: SOCIAL_ENG_VAGUE_DESCRIPTION low
Mitigation: Provide clear, detailed description of skill functionality
Data exfiltration patterns: DATA_EXFIL_NETWORK_REQUESTS, DATA_EXFIL_ENV_VARS medium
Mitigation: Ensure network access is necessary and documented
