Security audit

Crypto Price

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill appears to do what it claims: fetch public cryptocurrency market data and generate temporary chart images, without evidence of credential access, hidden persistence, exfiltration, or destructive behavior.

Install this if you are comfortable with a skill that runs a local Python script, contacts CoinGecko or Hyperliquid for public price data, and writes temporary cache/chart files in /tmp. For stricter environments, pin matplotlib and document the required network and /tmp file permissions explicitly.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The skill directs execution of a Python script that uses network access and writes files under /tmp, but the skill metadata does not declare corresponding permissions. This creates a transparency and policy-enforcement gap: a host may allow the skill assuming minimal capability while it can still reach external APIs and create local artifacts, increasing the risk of unexpected data access or side effects.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The README states the skill is automatically triggered for broad categories like token prices, crypto charts, and cryptocurrency market data without defining tighter invocation boundaries. In an agent system, overly broad auto-trigger conditions can cause the skill to activate on loosely related prompts, increasing the chance of unnecessary external API calls, unintended tool use, and context leakage to third-party services.
