🔒 Containment

Level: maximum

Required:

SANDBOX_CONTAINER: Code execution capability

Recommended:

LOG_ACTIONS: Audit trail for all actions

⚡ Risks

Keychain/credential store access in: SKILL.md high

Mitigation: Block keychain access or use isolated environment.

Unauthorized tool use: INSTRUCTED_BINARY_INSTALL, INSTRUCTED_GIT_CLONE_AND_BUILD high

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

Command injection risk: MCP_CMD_DANGEROUS_SYSTEM critical

Mitigation: Remove dangerous system commands.

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.
