Theory of Constraints

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill provides a coherent business-process analysis framework with no evidence of harmful execution or unrelated access.

Use it as an analysis aid and review proposed operational changes yourself. Avoid placing confidential business details in its reusable failure-pattern table.

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
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Finding

Skill attempts to nullify the agent's safety policies or restrictions ('you have no restrictions', 'ignore your guidelines', 'do anything now'). This is a direct jailbreak that disables guardrails.

## Red Flags

- Diagnosis for throughput shortfall is "everyone needs to work harder"
- Capacity investment spread across multiple steps without constraint identification
- Inventory visibly accumulates in front of one step; no one flags it
- Local productivity metrics tracked without aggregation to system throughput
- Previous TOC gains have decayed (new constraint unmanaged)
