Familysearch

· v1.0.3

Medium Risk

Search, explore, and analyze family history using the FamilySearch API and offline GEDCOM files. Use when the user asks about genealogy, ancestors, family trees, family history research, pedigree charts, or wants to look up relatives. Supports live FamilySearch API queries (person search, ancestry/descendancy, relationships, historical records) and offline GEDCOM file parsing (search, profiles, narrative biographies, statistics). Trigger on: "search my family tree", "who are my ancestors", "tell me about [ancestor name]", "family tree", "GEDCOM", "genealogy", "FamilySearch".

🔒 Containment

Level: maximum

Required:

SANDBOX_CONTAINER: Code execution capability

Recommended:

LOG_ACTIONS: Audit trail for all actions

⚡ Risks

Keychain/credential store access in: scripts/familysearch.py, SKILL.md high

Mitigation: Block keychain access or use isolated environment.

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.

Data exfiltration patterns: DATA_EXFIL_NETWORK_REQUESTS, DATA_EXFIL_ENV_VARS medium

Mitigation: Ensure network access is necessary and documented
