H-ear

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill mostly fits an audio-classification service, but it includes an under-disclosed live RTSP capture command that runs ffmpeg and can submit captured audio to H-ear.

Install only if you are comfortable giving this skill H-ear credentials and sending selected audio, audio URLs, job metadata, and webhook callback data to the H-ear service. Treat `capture`/`listen` as a high-risk feature: it can capture from an RTSP/source URL using ffmpeg and submit the result for classification, even though that capability is not listed in SKILL.md. Require explicit user approval for live capture and webhook create/update/delete, use least-privileged credentials, and avoid private or regulated audio unless you have reviewed H-ear’s data handling terms.

MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
86% confidence
Finding
The public description frames the skill as passive sound interpretation, but the documented behavior includes webhook management, historical job/audio retrieval, report download, and external callback routing. That mismatch can cause users or agents to invoke actions that transmit or expose sensitive audio-derived data without fully understanding the operational scope.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The skill states that asynchronous classification and alerts use webhook callbacks routed through the gateway, but it does not prominently warn that job results and possibly sensitive audio-derived metadata are transmitted to external infrastructure. In an audio intelligence context, this is especially risky because environmental audio and derived events may contain private or regulated information.
