ThermikBuddy

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill runs local weather-forecast scripts and contacts weather services for selected locations, which fits its stated soaring-weather purpose.

Install only if you are comfortable letting the agent run the bundled Python forecast code and make outbound weather requests for selected regions or custom coordinates. Avoid entering unnecessarily precise private locations, and confirm the intended version because the package metadata is inconsistent.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
82% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs the agent to invoke a Python script that performs network-backed weather retrieval, but no explicit permissions are declared. Undeclared network capability weakens reviewability and consent boundaries because the skill can access external services without that access being transparently documented. In this context the data requested is weather data, so the impact is limited compared with skills handling secrets or sensitive user content, but it is still a real policy and security issue.

MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The declared behavior says the skill uses Open-Meteo/ICON-D2 for soaring forecasts, but the analysis indicates additional external sources and capabilities, including DHV scraping, GFS fallback, region listing, and arbitrary coordinate input. This mismatch is dangerous because reviewers and users may approve the skill under a narrower trust model while it actually sends data to more endpoints and performs broader operations than disclosed. The weather context makes the payload less sensitive than finance or healthcare, but arbitrary coordinates can still expose user location and the hidden network surface raises supply-chain and privacy risk.
