Gene Structure Mapper

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed gene-visualization utility that fetches public bioinformatics data and writes user-requested figure/cache files.

Install and run this in a normal trusted Python environment. Be aware that live lookups send gene symbols and species names to public bioinformatics APIs, output paths can overwrite files you choose, and cached Ensembl responses in .cache may need clearing when fresh annotations are required.

Category: MCP Least Privilege
Confidence: 92% confidence
Finding: The skill documentation describes network access to Ensembl and UniProt plus file writes for cache and output generation, but no corresponding permissions are declared. This creates a trust and containment gap: an agent or user may run a skill believing it is low-privilege when it can make outbound requests and write files, which can enable unintended data egress, filesystem modification, or policy bypass in restricted environments.
