Gdpr Data Export Tool

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is mostly coherent privacy-export guidance, but it also tells agents to perform erasure/deletion workflows that are not clearly scoped in its stated export purpose.

Install only if you want DSAR export design guidance and will keep deletion/erasure operations behind separate legal authorization, identity verification, retention checks, and human approval. Treat the Article 17 deletion portions as requiring extra review before use.

Anti-Refusal Statement

Confidence

Finding

The instruction to 'Always answer both rights with one export by default' biases the workflow toward fulfillment rather than eligibility checks. Because Article 15 and Article 20 have different legal scopes, lawful-basis requirements, and data-category limits, defaulting to both can cause over-disclosure—especially inclusion of portability data or transfer-ready exports when only access rights were requested or when Article 20 does not apply.

| **Information about processing** | Must be provided (purposes, recipients, retention, source) | Not required (portability is data-focused, not process-focused) |
| **Format constraint** | Readable to a layperson is fine | Must be reusable by another service |

**Practical rule:** Always answer both rights with one export by default. The Article 20 layer is a subset of the Article 15 export. Tag each record with which right covers it.

Missing User Warnings

Confidence

Finding

The skill is centered on collecting, authenticating, packaging, and delivering highly sensitive personal data, yet it lacks an explicit front-loaded warning about privacy risk, minimum-access handling, and the consequences of misdelivery. In this context, omission of user-facing safeguards can normalize unsafe operation and increase the likelihood of accidental disclosure during real DSAR handling.

Vague Triggers

Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The invocation guidance is broad enough to trigger the skill in loosely related remediation, regulatory, and onboarding contexts without clear scoping limits. In a privacy/export skill that handles sensitive personal data and operational decisions, over-broad triggering can cause the agent to provide high-impact guidance or generate workflows in the wrong context, increasing the chance of inappropriate data handling or compliance mistakes.

Confidence

Finding

The manifest describes a tool for Article 15/20 GDPR exports, CCPA/CPRA right-to-know, and SAR export pipelines, but this section instructs the skill to carry out vendor-side deletion requests for erasure. Deletion handling is a separate privacy right and operational workflow from access/portability, so implementing erasure actions goes beyond the skill's stated export-focused scope.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium

Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

This scenario explicitly says to process Article 17 erasure requests and reuse the pipeline as 'extract and delete' rather than only designing access/portability exports. That is a meaningful behavior expansion beyond the manifest's stated purpose of building and operating data export pipelines for access and portability rights.
