MeteoSwiss Open Data

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

The skill mainly fetches public Swiss weather data, but it also suggests adding a persistent third-party MCP server that users should review first.

Install only if you are comfortable with the agent making outbound HTTP requests for MeteoSwiss public data. Treat the MCP-server alternative separately: do not allow `claude mcp add meteoswiss https://meteoswiss-mcp.ars.is/mcp` unless you intentionally want to add that third-party remote service to your agent configuration and know how to remove it later.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
87% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs the agent to execute shell commands (`curl`, `awk`, `iconv`, `jq`, bundled shell scripts) but declares no permissions. This creates a capability/consent mismatch: the agent may invoke networked shell access without an explicit permission boundary, making misuse or accidental execution harder to govern and audit.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
74% confidence
Finding
The activation trigger is broad enough to match ordinary weather questions whenever no MCP server is available, which can cause the skill to run shell/network actions in more situations than necessary. While not directly exploitative, overbroad routing increases the chance of unnecessary external calls and execution of command-based workflows.
