Livestock Assistant

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill appears to be a livestock assistant, but it asks for more AI-provider credentials and executable installation authority than its packaged files justify.

Install only if you are comfortable exposing AI-provider credentials to this skill environment, and prefer supplying only the single provider key you intend to use. Treat the package as incomplete unless the missing server files are supplied, and avoid running the unpinned ts-node install in a privileged environment.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review

Tool Parameter Abuse

High
Category
Tool Misuse
Confidence
80% confidence
Finding

Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The manifest says to use the skill for 'animal health, veterinary advice, breeds, reproduction, nutrition, forage, or any livestock-related topic,' which is a very broad natural-language trigger surface. It does not provide explicit boundaries or negative examples to distinguish when the skill should or should not activate, increasing the risk of accidental invocation from ordinary agricultural or animal-care conversations.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The documentation states the assistant 'Responds always in Spanish,' which imposes a language policy on all interactions. This is a natural-language policy concern because it does not offer the user a language preference or explain a justified region-specific limitation.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The file explicitly instructs that 'Every interaction should be in Spanish,' reinforcing a mandatory language restriction. Because no alternative language path or user choice is provided, this conflicts with the requirement to avoid forced locale/language behavior unless clearly justified and opted into.

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
60% confidence
Finding

Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
87% confidence
Finding

This markdown file documents session deletion via DELETE and presents only the HTTP response, but it does not warn that the operation removes conversation history. For markdown files, user-affecting or destructive behavior should be disclosed so users understand privacy and data-loss implications before invoking the action.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The API reference documents DELETE /api/animals/:id without any accompanying caution that the animal record will be removed and may not be recoverable. In markdown documentation, destructive operations affecting user data should include an explicit warning about data loss or irreversibility.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The file presents core disease headings and treatment terminology in Spanish while the surrounding reference text is in English. This imposes a mixed-language experience without documenting a locale requirement or offering user opt-in, which can violate language/locale policy expectations.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding

The file is primarily written in English, but several table values switch to Spanish terms such as country names and abbreviations (for example, "Países Bajos", "Escocia", and "EE.UU."). Because the skill does not state that it is region-specific or give the user a language/locale option, this can violate the language/locale policy by implicitly forcing mixed-language output.
