Security audit

AI开发工程师全流程工作流

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is a coherent AI-development guide, but it includes model gateway, evaluation, logging, caching, and third-party API patterns that can expose prompts or user data without enough scoping or privacy controls.

Install only if you are comfortable reviewing and adapting the examples before production use. Do not run the evaluation, embedding, moderation, or gateway scripts on private prompts, customer data, system prompts, or regulated documents until you add explicit user consent, redaction, provider allowlists, tenant/session-scoped caching, TTLs, and safer secret handling via environment variables or a secret manager.

MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding

The declared description promises a broad end-to-end AI/LLM engineering workflow assistant spanning 10 major phases of application development and operations. The supplied code does not implement any such workflow orchestration, development templates, safety analysis, or engineering guidance. Instead, it performs a narrow and specific task: computing and reporting token-based API costs from user inputs or log files. This is a materially different primary purpose, so the description does not accurately represent the code.

Finding

声明描述的是一个广泛的AI开发工程师全流程工作流平台/技能,核心定位是覆盖LLM应用开发的10大阶段并提供模板、架构与排障支持;而实际代码仅实现了其中很窄的一部分——“测试评估”阶段下的LLM评测脚本。其主要功能是读取测试集、调用模型、检查响应中是否包含预期关键词、统计延迟并输出报告。这与“全流程开发工作流”这一主目的明显不符,属于 materially different primary purpose。虽然声明中提到“测试评估”,但该代码没有体现需求分析、技术选型、数据处理、Agent/RAG/微调、前后端、部署运维、安全护栏等绝大多数宣称能力,因此应判定为描述与行为不匹配。

Finding

The description claims a comprehensive AI development engineer workflow spanning the full lifecycle of LLM app development across 10 stages. However, the supplied code chunk only implements one narrow area: AI safety guardrails. It detects prompt injection patterns, audits text for PII/harmful content/system leakage, redacts PII, prints a China-oriented compliance checklist, and runs predefined security tests. This is not a materially complete implementation of the declared end-to-end AI engineering workflow. While '安全护栏', 'Prompt注入', and 'AI安全' are mentioned in the description, the actual code's primary purpose is much narrower than the declared overall purpose, so the description does not accurately represent this code chunk.

Confidence

Finding

The description promises a comprehensive full-lifecycle AI engineering workflow spanning many stages and disciplines. The supplied code chunk is much narrower: it is specifically a model gateway/router script with endpoint selection by complexity, fallback routing, simplistic semantic caching, cost tracking, and benchmarking. While '模型网关' and '智能路由' are mentioned among the declared keywords, the declared primary purpose is a broad all-in-one workflow, which this code does not realize. This is therefore a material description-behavior mismatch due to substantial missing claimed capabilities and a much narrower actual scope.

Undeclared Tool Scope

Medium
Category
MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
87% confidence
Finding

The skill includes code examples and references to scripts with file read/write style capabilities, but it declares no explicit tool scope or permission boundaries. In an agent ecosystem, missing scope declarations can cause the runtime or operator to over-trust the skill and enable broader filesystem access than users expect, increasing the blast radius if the skill is invoked automatically.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The trigger phrases are extremely broad and overlap with common AI-development queries, making accidental or automatic activation likely. Over-broad activation is dangerous because it can insert this skill's instructions, assumptions, and referenced capabilities into unrelated contexts, potentially exposing users to unnecessary tool use or unsafe workflow guidance.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
84% confidence
Finding

The skill description, triggers, examples, and operational guidance are presented as Chinese-first behavior, including explicit Chinese trigger terms, without stating that users may choose another language. This can violate language/locale policy when a skill effectively forces one language absent opt-in or documented justification.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The activation rule relies on an example phrase rather than a precise gating condition, which increases ambiguity in when the skill should activate. Ambiguous activation can cause the agent to invoke the skill in situations the user did not intend, importing extensive workflow instructions or code-oriented behaviors into the session without clear consent.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The full-workflow trigger 'help me build an AI application from scratch' is too broad for safe activation because it matches a large class of ordinary requests. In a multi-skill environment, such broad routing can cause this skill to dominate conversations and potentially enable unnecessary code, file, or architecture actions beyond the user's immediate need.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The guide recommends collecting user feedback, regeneration events, corrections, interruptions, and logs for bad-case review, but it does not mention data minimization, consent, retention limits, or redaction of sensitive conversation content. In an LLMOps context, these logs commonly contain prompts, responses, and potentially personal, confidential, or regulated data, so implementing this guidance verbatim could lead to privacy leakage or noncompliant data processing.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The manual explicitly recommends sending user-provided text to third-party moderation APIs, but it does not mention user notice, consent, data minimization, or handling of sensitive content before transmission. In an AI safety context, those texts may contain PII, secrets, regulated data, or confidential prompts, so this omission can create a real privacy and compliance risk even if the security goal is legitimate.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

This is the same external transmission behavior: user text is posted to an external moderation service endpoint. In this skill's context, the danger is elevated because the manual is specifically about security guardrails, so operators may forward adversarial prompts, personal data, or incident-related content to a third party and mistakenly assume that is risk-free.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding

This code file contains user-facing natural language almost entirely in Chinese, including the title, usage guidance, and configuration description. Under the stated policy, forcing a specific language without user opt-in is a natural-language policy violation unless the locale restriction is clearly documented and justified, which it is not here.

Content

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

The script prints reports, warnings, and argparse help strings in Chinese for all users, with no mechanism to choose another language. This is a direct language/locale policy issue because the skill enforces one language in its natural-language outputs without presenting a choice or documenting a justified locale constraint.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

When not run in mock mode, the script sends each test query and any optional system prompt directly to the OpenAI API. Test suites and prompt files may contain sensitive prompts, proprietary evaluation data, or user-derived content, and the script does not provide a clear warning, consent gate, or redaction step before external transmission.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

This code file contains natural-language user-facing documentation that assumes Chinese as the required language for usage and functionality descriptions. The policy requires flagging language or locale constraints when the skill forces a specific language without giving the user a choice or documenting opt-in.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The semantic cache stores raw user queries and model responses in memory and reuses them for later matching without any retention controls, consent mechanism, tenant isolation, or sensitivity filtering. In a model gateway context, this can expose one user's prompts or outputs to another request through loose similarity matching, and it also creates privacy and compliance risk if secrets, personal data, or proprietary content are cached.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The injected LLM callback sends the full query to whichever external provider is selected, but the script provides no notice, consent, provider transparency, or policy controls around data egress. In this gateway skill, routing across multiple third-party models increases the chance that sensitive prompts are transmitted to unexpected vendors, creating privacy, contractual, and compliance exposure.

Content

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

This markdown file presents all guidance exclusively in Chinese, and there is no indication that the skill or reference is intentionally region-specific or that users may choose another language. Under the language/locale policy rule, forcing a specific language without opt-in is a natural-language policy concern.

Content

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
85% confidence
Finding

The natural-language content of the skill file is entirely in Chinese and does not indicate that language selection is optional or that the document is intentionally limited to a China-specific audience. Under the stated policy, forcing a specific language without user opt-in can be a locale-policy issue unless the constraint is clearly documented and justified.

Content

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The module docstring, inline help text, and user-facing descriptions are written in Chinese, which effectively imposes a specific language on users. Under the stated policy, language constraints should not be forced without offering a user choice or clearly documenting a justified locale restriction.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

Natural-language strings in the module docstring and CLI output/help are presented exclusively in Chinese. This imposes a language choice on users without opt-in or an alternative locale, which matches the language/locale policy violation criteria.
