Intent-Code Divergence

Medium
Confidence
86% confidence
Finding
The payment section claims to be display-only and forbids auto-pay, but then permits constructing a 'convenience URL' from explicit payment metadata. That creates a pathway for the agent to actively transform payment inputs into actionable payment links, which weakens the stated human-in-the-loop boundary and can enable phishing, payment redirection, or unintended transaction initiation if the metadata is malicious or incorrect.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
Using a single-word activation trigger like 'fax' is overly broad and can cause accidental invocation in unrelated conversations. In agent environments, broad triggers increase the chance the skill activates on incidental text and starts collecting sensitive contact or payment-related data without clear user intent.
