Pipeworx ashby

AdvisoryAudited by Static analysis on Apr 30, 2026.

Overview

No suspicious patterns detected.

Findings (0)

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

Candidate resumes, contact details, and interview history could be exposed to a third-party gateway or accessed more broadly than intended if the MCP server is misconfigured or over-permissioned.

Why it was flagged

The skill routes access to highly sensitive ATS candidate data through an external MCP gateway, but the artifacts do not explain identity, authorization, retention, logging, or data-boundary controls for that gateway.

Skill content
"Get full candidate profile by ID. Returns contact info, resume, interview history" ... "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/ashby/mcp"
Recommendation

Only use this after verifying the Pipeworx gateway’s authorization model, data handling policy, and tenant isolation, and limit requests to specific candidate or job records the user explicitly needs.

What this means

The agent may access ATS records under an unclear account or delegated permission set, which can make auditing and least-privilege control difficult.

Why it was flagged

The skill is described as accessing Ashby ATS data, but the metadata declares no credential or permission contract, leaving unclear whose Ashby privileges are used and what scope is granted.

Skill content
Required env vars: none; Env var declarations: none; Primary credential: none
Recommendation

Require clear authentication documentation before installation, including which Ashby account or token is used, what scopes are granted, and how access can be revoked.

What this means

You cannot verify from these artifacts what code runs behind the remote MCP server or how it handles Ashby data.

Why it was flagged

The reviewed package contains only instructions and a remote MCP endpoint, so the actual server-side implementation handling ATS data is outside the provided artifacts.

Skill content
Source: unknown; Homepage: none; No code files present — this is an instruction-only skill.
Recommendation

Confirm the publisher, review any available Pipeworx/Ashby integration documentation, and prefer a version with clear provenance and data-processing terms.
