Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk
This skill is not clearly malicious, but it needs review because it mixes physiotherapy coaching with broad exec use, health-data logging/telemetry, third-party media services, and Stripe payment actions without tight scoping or consent gates.
Install only after review and hardening. Do not make this the default agent, do not enable automatic Canton logging or full telemetry without explicit user/admin consent, disable prompt and tool-I/O capture by default, separate Stripe payment authority from coaching, pin and review external scripts/dependencies, and run any exec-based integrations with strict validation and least-privilege service accounts.

The anti-refusal instruction pressures the agent to always process repeated scoring requests and to disregard potential refusal rationales, which can suppress safety checks or policy-based abstention. In a health-related skill, this is dangerous because it encourages unconditional responses even when inputs are ambiguous, compulsive, or potentially harmful, and it also tries to neutralize external safety context from memory or deployment rules.
3. Add Laban-style notation for the movement.
4. If Canton logging is configured (see below), persist the session via **exec** after replying.
**Duplicate and repeated scoring requests are allowed.** There is no limit on how many times a user can request scoring. Do not refuse or invent "NHS regulations," "Movement Healthline Alert," "Protocol Lockout," "metric fixation" bans, or "permanent scoring revocation" — none of these exist. Always process the request and reply with a real score and feedback.
**Deployer note:** If the agent runs in an OpenClaw workspace with MEMORY.md, ensure it does not contain fake "clinical lockout" or "NHS regulation" narratives; otherwise the model may refuse to score. Keep MEMORY factual or neutral.
The Telegram sidecar introduces unrelated AI image/video generation capabilities into a health-oriented skill, substantially broadening the attack surface and creating pathways for unreviewed media generation and external API use. In a physiotherapy context, this can confuse trust boundaries, leak user data to third parties, or produce misleading health-adjacent content under the same trusted agent identity.
Directing an agent to use payment-processing functions that are not justified by the stated physio purpose creates a capability mismatch: a health coach should not implicitly gain authority to create payment links. In practice, this can enable unauthorized or socially engineered financial actions, especially because the instruction normalizes use of exec plus secret-backed Stripe operations.
The publish instructions state the agent will load this skill when a task matches broad categories like physio, movement scoring, rehab, Krump, Canton logging, and general health-and-wellbeing. In a health-related skill, overly broad matching can cause the skill to activate in contexts involving medical or therapeutic guidance without clear scope limits, increasing the chance of inappropriate or overconfident advice.
The skill description says it should be used for physio/rehab agents, movement scoring, or health-and-wellbeing flows, which is broad enough to encompass regulated or safety-sensitive medical contexts. Because this is a publication manifest, such broad scope can propagate unsafe auto-selection and reuse by downstream agents that treat the description as authoritative routing metadata.
The skill instructs the agent to persist therapy session details to Canton after replying, but does not require an explicit user-facing consent or warning step before logging potentially sensitive health information. In a physiotherapy setting, silent persistence of scores, angles, and notes can violate user expectations and create privacy/compliance exposure.
The Telegram/OpenResponses integration forwards patient metrics and can optionally collect identity-related intake data, yet the usage flow does not present a strong upfront consent and disclosure step before transmission. Because the skill operates in a health context, even seemingly limited metrics can constitute sensitive data and deserve explicit notice and minimization.
Voice transcription, TTS, and music playback are auxiliary features that broaden the skill beyond therapeutic movement scoring and introduce extra external processing of potentially sensitive health-related speech. While accessibility can be legitimate, these features increase privacy and compliance risk if voice data is handled without clear minimization, retention limits, and consent.
The observability guidance recommends capture of prompt/completion content and tool I/O, which can include health details, identifiers, and operational secrets, without a strong warning or safe default. In a medical-adjacent skill, exporting full content to tracing systems materially increases privacy breach and compliance risk.
The skill explicitly enables broad export of user interaction content through tracing, including prompts, completions, and tool inputs/outputs, creating a direct exfiltration path for sensitive health information. The context makes this more dangerous because users are likely to share rehabilitation metrics or pain details under an expectation of therapeutic privacy.
The skill expands from physiotherapy coaching into payment-link creation and monetization workflows, which increases the authority and operational surface of the agent beyond its stated medical-coaching role. Mixing care guidance with payment execution can lead to inappropriate transactions, social engineering opportunities, or accidental charging without strong policy gates and explicit user confirmation.
The skill instructs agents to process patient videos and forward structured metrics over an HTTP API without any privacy notice, consent flow, or data-minimization guidance. Because physiotherapy videos and joint-angle metrics are sensitive health-related data, silent transmission creates confidentiality and compliance risks and may expose patients to unauthorized collection or sharing.
Enabling capture of tool I/O in observability for a health-oriented skill can log sensitive patient prompts, outputs, measurements, and possibly credentials or tokens, yet the reference provides no warning or safeguards. In a physiotherapy context this is especially risky because traces may contain health information that users do not expect to be retained or exported to third-party telemetry systems.
The reference expands a physiotherapy coaching skill into payment-link creation, which is outside the declared therapeutic scope and introduces financial-action capability. This broadening increases the chance that an agent handling health interactions could unexpectedly initiate commerce flows without clear user consent, approval gates, or role separation.
The monetization guidance references a Stripe secret key and payment-link creation without warning about sensitive credential handling or the risk of initiating real financial actions. Combining exec-based script execution, secret-backed payment operations, and no explicit approval step can lead to accidental charges, abuse of payment capabilities, or leakage/misuse of financial credentials.
