Tool Misuse and Exploitation
SeverityLowConfidenceHighStatusNote
SKILL.md
jq '.version = "2.0"' package.json > package.json.tmp && mv package.json.tmp package.json

This example shows jq being combined with shell redirection and mv to overwrite a local project file. It is clearly documented and purpose-aligned, but users should notice that running similar commands can modify files.

User impactIf a user or agent applies these examples to important files, local JSON or project files could be changed.
RecommendationReview file-modifying jq commands before running them, use temporary outputs or backups for important files, and confirm the target path is correct.
Agentic Supply Chain Vulnerabilities

install spec
brew | formula: jq | creates binaries: jq

The skill depends on installing the external jq binary via a package manager. This is expected for a jq skill and no suspicious installer behavior is shown.

User impactThe skill relies on the locally installed jq package being trustworthy and available.
RecommendationInstall jq from a trusted package manager or official source and keep it updated.
