Polymarket Opportunities Scanning

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a disclosed Polymarket scanning and email-reporting skill; its local Mail automation and optional scheduling need care but fit the stated purpose.

Install only if you are comfortable with a script fetching public Polymarket data, saving opportunities.json locally, and sending report emails through your default Apple Mail account. Set SMTP_TO deliberately, review the scripts before enabling the optional cron schedule, and do not rely on Telegram delivery unless you add and review that implementation yourself.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
82% confidence
Finding
The skill advertises and instructs use of environment variables and network access but does not declare the permissions/capabilities needed for those behaviors. Undeclared capabilities reduce transparency and can cause an agent or reviewer to underestimate what the skill can access, especially because it also performs outbound communication and local integration steps.

Tp4

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The skill's documented behavior does not fully match its actual operational behavior: it writes local files, uses Apple Mail via osascript, and appears incomplete or inconsistent regarding Telegram delivery. This mismatch is dangerous because users may approve a market-scanning/reporting skill without realizing it also invokes local automation and persistence, which expands the attack surface and can enable unintended data handling or command execution pathways.
