🔒 Containment

Level: maximum

Recommended:

LOG_ACTIONS: Audit trail for all actions

⚡ Risks

Resource abuse detected: RESOURCE_ABUSE_INFINITE_LOOP high

Mitigation: Add proper exit conditions or limits to loops

Unauthorized tool use: INSTRUCTED_BINARY_INSTALL high

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

Command injection risk: MCP_SQL_BLIND high

Mitigation: Remove SQL exploitation patterns.

Social engineering indicators: SOCIAL_ENG_VAGUE_DESCRIPTION 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
