Chmod Tool

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a small local chmod helper that does what its name implies, but changing file permissions can weaken access controls if used carelessly.

Install only if you want an agent-accessible chmod helper. Use explicit paths, avoid changing permissions on sensitive system, credential, or account files, and note that this version appears to support only octal modes for one file despite documenting symbolic and recursive examples.

Finding
The skill clearly implies shell-backed execution of chmod operations, but the metadata shown does not declare any permissions. Undeclared shell capability is risky because it can modify filesystem permissions on arbitrary paths, potentially making sensitive files writable or executable and bypassing expected trust and review boundaries.
