Sanger Chromatogram QA

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a small local sequencing QA helper with no evidence of hidden access, data theft, persistence, or destructive behavior.

Install it in a project-specific virtual environment, consider pinning numpy before use, and confirm intended input and output paths before running any local script.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
80% confidence
Finding
The skill's invocation criteria are broad enough that it could be selected for generic data-analysis requests beyond narrow Sanger chromatogram QA. That increases the chance an agent will run the packaged script in contexts where inputs, constraints, or user expectations were not sufficiently validated, creating avoidable execution and file-handling risk.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The documentation instructs running local Python scripts and reviewing generated output, but it does not prominently warn users that code will execute locally and may read/write workspace files. In an agent setting, this can lead to implicit code execution and filesystem modification without sufficiently explicit user awareness or consent.
