🔒 Containment

Level: maximum

Required:

SANDBOX_CONTAINER: Code execution capability

Recommended:

LOG_ACTIONS: Audit trail for all actions

⚡ Risks

Unauthorized tool use: TOOL_ABUSE_SYSTEM_MODIFICATION, MCP_SYS_CRITICAL_ACCESS, TOOL_ABUSE_SYSTEM_PACKAGE_INSTALL, MCP_SYS_PERMISSION_MANIPULATION, MCP_SYS_PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION, INSTRUCTED_BINARY_INSTALL critical

Mitigation: Remove system modification commands

Social engineering indicators: SOCIAL_ENG_VAGUE_DESCRIPTION low

Mitigation: Provide clear, detailed description of skill functionality

Data exfiltration patterns: DATA_EXFIL_SENSITIVE_FILES high

Mitigation: Do not access credential files or sensitive system files
