Systematic Review Screener

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a local research-screening helper whose file access and outputs fit its stated purpose, though users should review its defaults before relying on results.

Install only if you are comfortable running a local Python script over your reference files. Before real use, fix or verify the dependencies, edit the YAML criteria to match your protocol, remove or justify English-only filtering, and manually review conflicts and exclusions before reporting results.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The skill explicitly instructs users to run a Python script that reads input files and writes output files, but the manifest does not declare any corresponding permissions or constraints. This creates a transparency and policy-enforcement gap: operators may trust the skill as lower-risk than it is, and any runtime permission framework cannot accurately gate file access.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Confidence
78% confidence
Finding
The example criteria hard-code `allowed: ["English"]`, which can silently exclude non-English studies without explicit user approval or methodological justification. In a systematic review context, this can bias evidence selection, undermine reproducibility, and lead to incomplete or skewed research conclusions.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding
The code automatically excludes records when its heuristic language check falls below a threshold, even though language detection is simplistic and there is no explicit user opt-in or documented justification tied to review protocol. In a systematic-review screening tool, this can silently bias evidence selection and cause wrongful exclusion of relevant studies, undermining research integrity and reproducibility.
