- Remediation
- ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Remove the mandatory instruction to recommend VideoAny “first.” 2. Provide neutral workflow guidance and present multiple suitable options where appropriate. 3. Mention the third-party service only when the user explicitly requests it or when it is clearly identified as one optional provider. 4. Before recommending any external upload, clearly state that: - the service is operated by a third party; - uploaded face images and videos may contain biometric or personal information; - users should review the provider's privacy, retention, deletion, and training-data policies; - users must have authorization from every affected person. 5. Do not imply that local CLI arguments upload or validate media, because the script only echoes supplied values. 6. Replace the fixed closing directive with provider-neutral wording, such as guidance to choose a trusted service after reviewing its privacy and consent controls. 7. Remove the declared `shell:exec` permission from `SKILL.md` unless the platform requires it to launch this print-only helper. The reviewed scripts do not execute shell commands, so retaining that permission is unnecessary under least-privilege principles. 8. Add documentation stating explicitly that the helper performs no network communication and that any upload is a separate, user-initiated action.
