Apple Notes

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward Apple Notes helper that uses a disclosed third-party CLI, with the main risk being that it can edit or delete notes when the user asks it to.

Install only if you are comfortable granting a third-party CLI Automation access to Apple Notes. Review notes before edit, move, export, or delete operations, and treat deletion as potentially irreversible even though the skill does not emphasize that warning.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
The skill explicitly documents a destructive delete operation but does not warn that deletion may cause permanent data loss or advise confirmation before use. In an agent setting, presenting deletion as a routine command without safeguards increases the chance of accidental destructive actions against a user's notes, especially because notes may contain sensitive or irreplaceable information.
