Capacity Planner

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward capacity-planning guide that asks users to query their own monitoring and cloud metrics, with no hidden execution, persistence, or unrelated data handling found.

Install only if you are comfortable letting the agent help query infrastructure monitoring systems. Review the Prometheus URL, AWS account, and credentials before running commands, because the results can reveal instance names, utilization, disk capacity, and other operational metadata.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
Vulnerability Patterns
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Content
```bash
# Prometheus — CPU utilization over last 30 days
curl -s "$PROMETHEUS_URL/api/v1/query_range" \
  --data-urlencode 'query=avg(rate(node_cpu_seconds_total{mode!="idle"}[5m])) by (instance)' \
  --data-urlencode "start=$(date -d '30 days ago' +%s)" \
  --data-urlencode "end=$(date +%s)" \
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
Remote code is downloaded and executed. This bypasses code review and could introduce malicious code.

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Content
```bash
# Prometheus — CPU utilization over last 30 days
curl -s "$PROMETHEUS_URL/api/v1/query_range" \
  --data-urlencode 'query=avg(rate(node_cpu_seconds_total{mode!="idle"}[5m])) by (instance)' \
  --data-urlencode "start=$(date -d '30 days ago' +%s)" \
  --data-urlencode "end=$(date +%s)" \
Confidence
60% confidence
Finding
Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.

External Transmission

Category
Data Exfiltration
Content
# Disk usage over time
df -h / /data /var 2>/dev/null
# Historical disk growth (if monitoring available)
curl -s "$PROMETHEUS_URL/api/v1/query_range" \
  --data-urlencode 'query=node_filesystem_avail_bytes{mountpoint="/"}' \
  --data-urlencode "start=$(date -d '30 days ago' +%s)" \
  --data-urlencode "end=$(date +%s)" \
Confidence
60% confidence
Finding
Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.

Missing User Warnings

Low
Confidence
81% confidence
Finding
This markdown file instructs users to run curl requests against Prometheus and an AWS CloudWatch CLI command, which can transmit infrastructure details such as instance identifiers, utilization, and account-scoped monitoring data. The skill description does not include any warning about privacy, access scope, or verifying that these commands are appropriate for the target environment.
