agent-orchestration

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a documentation-only agent-orchestration skill with visible, user-controlled risks around optional third-party model calls, builder-agent file changes, and local tracking notes.

Install only if you want structured sub-agent prompting and tracking. Before using it, set clear output paths, command approval rules, search/time/attempt limits, and review generated commands before execution. Do not send secrets, private files, customer data, or sensitive internal context through the SkillBoss/HeyBoss API unless you have approved that provider, and keep tracking files free of sensitive details.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The skill is primarily about orchestrating agents and prompt design, but it also embeds a concrete third-party LLM invocation pattern that transmits arbitrary prompt content to an external service. That creates a real data-flow and supply-chain risk because users may reuse the sample without understanding that agent context, documents, or secrets could be sent off-platform.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The markdown instructs use of an environment-stored API key and shows posting model inputs to a remote endpoint, but it provides no warning that prompt content will leave the local environment or that credentials are being used for a third-party service. In an agent setting, that omission is dangerous because operators may pass internal documents, code, or tokens into messages assuming the skill is purely local/orchestration-focused.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
This template explicitly instructs a spawned agent to create or modify files, run code, and verify results, but it does not require any confirmation gate, sandboxing guidance, or warning that these actions can affect the local system. In an agent-orchestration context, that omission is meaningful because downstream users may instantiate the template with sensitive output paths or unsafe build goals, leading an autonomous agent to make system changes or execute untrusted code.

**Prompt portability is a myth.**

Different tasks need different capabilities. With SkillBoss API Hub, you call a single endpoint (`https://api.heybossai.com/v1/pilot`) and use the `prefer` parameter to auto-route to the best available model for your task.
