🔒 Containment

Level: maximum

Required:

APPROVE_SEND: Can send messages
SANDBOX_CONTAINER: Code execution capability

Recommended:

LOG_ACTIONS: Audit trail for all actions

⚡ Risks

Unauthorized tool use: INSTRUCTED_BINARY_INSTALL, MCP_SYS_FILE_DESTRUCTION, MCP_SYS_CRITICAL_ACCESS, TOOL_ABUSE_SYSTEM_MODIFICATION critical

Mitigation: Avoid instructing agents to install arbitrary binaries; bundle dependencies or use sandboxed environments

Command injection risk: MCP_CMD_DANGEROUS_SYSTEM, MCP_SQL_BLIND, TIRITH_INSECURE_TLS critical

Mitigation: Remove dangerous system commands.

Social engineering indicators: SOCIAL_ENG_VAGUE_DESCRIPTION, SOCIAL_ENG_ANTHROPIC_IMPERSONATION low

Mitigation: Provide clear, detailed description of skill functionality

Data exfiltration patterns: DATA_EXFIL_NETWORK_REQUESTS, DATA_EXFIL_HTTP_POST, DATA_EXFIL_ENV_VARS critical

Mitigation: Ensure network access is necessary and documented
