Polymarket Odds 1.0.0

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward Polymarket lookup CLI that makes disclosed public read-only requests, with minor scoping and documentation cautions.

Install only if you are comfortable with the agent sending market search terms to Polymarket. Use it for Polymarket or prediction-market odds, not private or sensitive questions that merely ask about probabilities.

Undeclared Tool Scope

Confidence

Finding

The skill clearly instructs the agent to use a CLI that performs outbound network requests to public Polymarket endpoints, but the manifest does not declare any tool scope, permissions, or allowed-tools constraints. This creates a governance gap: an agent may invoke network-capable code without explicit user-visible authorization boundaries, increasing the chance of unintended external requests or misuse in environments that rely on manifest-level restrictions.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The description says to use the skill when asked about odds, probabilities, predictions, or 'what are the chances of X,' which is broad enough to trigger on many unrelated requests. Overbroad invocation criteria can cause the agent to inappropriately route general probabilistic or predictive questions to this networked skill, leading to unnecessary external calls, irrelevant outputs, or data leakage through query terms sent to third-party services.
