Hallucinating Splines

PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.

Overview

This instruction-only skill is coherently scoped to managing a game city through its own API/MCP server, but it uses a service API key and encourages unattended periodic city actions.

Install only if you want an agent to manage Hallucinating Splines cities through the external service. Treat HS_API_KEY like a password, keep the session scoped to game activity, and only enable heartbeat/background operation if you are comfortable with unattended city actions.

What this means

An enabled agent can spend in-game funds and alter game-city state under the API key.

Why it was flagged

The skill documents mutating API actions that can change city state and bulldoze tiles; this is core to the stated city-management purpose but should be deliberate.

Skill content
curl -s -X POST https://api.hallucinatingsplines.com/v1/cities/$CITY_ID/actions ... -d '{"action": "zone_residential", ... "auto_bulldoze": true}'
Recommendation

Use it only for cities you want the agent to manage, and add confirmation around destructive or expensive actions if the city matters to you.

What this means

Anyone or any agent with the key could act as your mayor within Hallucinating Splines.

Why it was flagged

The skill requires and transmits a bearer credential for the external service; this is disclosed and described as service-scoped, but it grants control over that service account's cities.

Skill content
requires only one credential: an `HS_API_KEY` ... `Authorization: Bearer $HS_API_KEY`
Recommendation

Store the key as a secret, do not paste it into unrelated chats or tools, and rotate or revoke it if it may have been exposed.

What this means

The agent may exchange game context with the remote MCP server and may follow strategy guidance returned by that service.

Why it was flagged

The skill offers a remote MCP server with tools and resources; this is purpose-aligned, but MCP content and tool responses can steer the agent's behavior.

Skill content
Connect directly via MCP ... `https://mcp.hallucinatingsplines.com/mcp` ... 19 tools ... Agent Playbook resource
Recommendation

Connect only if you trust the Hallucinating Splines MCP endpoint, and keep unrelated personal or work context out of sessions that use it.

What this means

If you configure a scheduler or background agent, it may keep making game actions without further prompts.

Why it was flagged

The heartbeat instructions encourage periodic autonomous activity to keep cities alive; this is disclosed and limited to the game service, but it can continue making service-side actions if scheduled.

Skill content
Every 30 minutes ... Take at least one action ... Even `{"months": 1}` is enough to reset the 14-day clock
Recommendation

Enable any heartbeat or background builder only intentionally, monitor its activity, and stop it or revoke the API key when you no longer want autonomous play.
