Template Tool

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This looks like a basic template tool, but one bundled script can generate and overwrite multiple project files beyond what the skill description explains.

Review before installing. Use only in a controlled directory, avoid running it against important project folders, and avoid path-like names or output paths unless you are comfortable with files being created or overwritten.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
80% confidence
Finding
The skill advertises file read/write behavior but does not declare corresponding permissions, which weakens transparency and policy enforcement around filesystem access. In an agent environment, undeclared file capabilities can lead to unintended access to local templates or output paths and make it harder for users and reviewers to understand the skill's real privileges.

Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding
The declared purpose is narrow text-template substitution, but the detected behavior suggests broader scaffold generation, preset enumeration, and multi-file writes. This mismatch is dangerous because it can mislead users and policy systems into approving a seemingly simple text tool that can actually create extensive files or code artifacts on disk.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
86% confidence
Finding
The tool writes generated files directly to user-selected locations without checking whether files already exist, so it can silently overwrite source files or project metadata. In an agent or automation context, this can cause destructive changes, clobber user work, or replace trusted project files in unexpected directories.
