Caring CourseForge

ยท v1.0.3

Medium Risk

Create and manage online courses via the CourseForge API (caringcourseforge.com). Use when the user wants to create courses, modules, lessons, generate AI content, export to SCORM/xAPI, manage knowledge libraries, or interact with the CourseForge platform. Handles course building, content generation, quizzes, accessibility validation, and course export.

๐Ÿ”’ Containment

Level: elevated

Required:
  • SANDBOX_CONTAINER: Code execution capability
Recommended:
  • LOG_ACTIONS: Audit trail for all actions

โšก Risks

Unauthorized tool use: INSTRUCTED_BINARY_INSTALL 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

Tool poisoning: hidden behaviors detected (MCP_TOOL_POISONING_SENSITIVE_DATA) high

Mitigation: Remove references to sensitive data collection.
