tone-rewriter

Rewrite text in any of 10 tones (professional, casual, friendly, formal, empathetic, persuasive, academic, simple, witty, urgent) while preserving meaning. x...

Security Scan

The skill's stated purpose (rewriting tone) is reasonable, but the runtime instructions unexpectedly require installing a third‑party CLI and authenticating/paying a third‑party server (anicca-proxy-production.up.railway.app) — behavior not declared in the registry and which could expose stored credentials or require wallet access.

Purpose & Capability

The skill claims a simple text-rewrite capability but the SKILL.md instructs callers to install a third-party npm CLI (awal) and use an x402 pay endpoint hosted on a Railway domain. The need for a payment/auth flow is not explained in the top-level metadata; asking a user to install a CLI and authenticate is disproportionate to the simple 'tone rewrite' description unless this is explicitly a paid third‑party service.

Instruction Scope

The instructions direct the agent/user to run 'npm install -g awal@2.0.3' and 'awal auth login', then use 'npx awal@2.0.3 x402 pay' to call a remote endpoint. These steps involve installing software, performing login/auth, and initiating a payment — all outside the minimal scope of rewriting text. The SKILL.md does not document what credentials are created, what is stored locally, or what data is sent to the upstream endpoint.

Install Mechanism

There is no formal install spec in the registry, but the SKILL.md requires installing a public npm package (awal) or using npx. Using an npm package is a moderate risk: it is traceable but executes third-party code. The network endpoint used (anicca-proxy-production.up.railway.app) is a third-party Railway app rather than a well-known vendor domain, which raises trust questions about who runs the service.

Credentials

The registry declares no required environment variables or credentials, yet the instructions require 'awal auth login' and a payment via x402. That implies creation/use of local credentials or wallet access not declared in the skill metadata. This is disproportionate because the skill asks for authentication/payment without specifying what secrets/scopes will be used or stored.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill is not marked 'always' and does not request system-wide privileges, but the advised 'awal auth login' flow likely persists auth tokens/credentials on the host. The skill could thereby gain continued access to the payment service or stored credentials across agent runs; the SKILL.md does not explain token lifecycle or revocation.

What to consider before installing

Before installing or invoking this skill: 1) Verify the operator of the endpoint (anicca-proxy-production.up.railway.app) and the 'awal' package (who maintains it, open source repo, npm page). 2) Do not run 'awal auth login' or install the CLI in a sensitive environment until you understand what credentials/wallets it requires and where tokens are stored. 3) Confirm pricing and payment flow (what triggers the $0.01 USDC charge and whether approvals are required). 4) If you must test, use an isolated environment or throwaway account/wallet and inspect what files/tokens 'awal' writes. 5) Ask the skill author for source code, a privacy/data-handling statement, and justification for using an external payment proxy; if they cannot provide these, treat the skill as risky.
