Security audit

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a calendar/almanac calculator whose code and instructions fit its stated purpose, with only a minor disclosure gap around Skyfield downloading a JPL ephemeris file if it is not already cached.

Before installing, be aware that first use may install Python dependencies and may download a JPL ephemeris file for astronomical calculations into a local cache. Use it for cultural/calendar reference, not for legal, medical, financial, or safety decisions.

84% confidence
Finding
The Skyfield Loader will fetch the ephemeris file if it is missing, which introduces undeclared network access and external dependency retrieval during normal execution. In an agent skill advertised as a deterministic calendar/explanation workflow, implicit downloads expand the trust boundary, can leak environment metadata via outbound requests, and create supply-chain and reproducibility risks if network access is not expected or controlled.
