Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a straightforward Cognary task-management helper, with normal care needed for its API key and delete command.

Before installing, confirm that cognary-cli is the intended package, use a dedicated or revocable Cognary API key if possible, and ask the agent to show the exact task title and ID before updating or deleting tasks.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding
The skill advertises that it should trigger on essentially any request about tasks, to-dos, reminders-as-tasks, or action items, which is broader than necessary for a capability that can mutate and delete user data. Overly broad invocation increases the chance the agent will route ambiguous user requests into this skill and perform unintended task operations, especially because the skill includes create, update, complete, and delete actions.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
85% confidence
Finding
The documentation exposes a delete command for tasks but provides no warning that deletion is destructive or guidance to confirm intent before executing it. In an agent context, this omission makes accidental or ambiguous destructive actions more likely, because the skill normalizes deletion as a routine action without safety guardrails.
