TinkerClaw Agent Superpowers

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is an instruction-only engineering workflow skill whose broad behavioral guidance is disclosed and aligned with its purpose.

Install this if you want your agent to follow stricter coding discipline. Be aware it may make coding sessions more process-heavy by encouraging plans, sub-agents, commits, and fresh verification, and only copy the AGENTS.md section if you want those rules to persist across sessions.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
Vulnerability Patterns
  • Tool MisuseTool Parameter Abuse, Chaining Abuse, Unsafe Defaults
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access

Tool Parameter Abuse

High
Category
Tool Misuse
Confidence
65% confidence
Finding

Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding

The description says to use the skill for 'coding tasks of any complexity,' 'debugging failures,' 'planning features,' and 'reviewing code,' which covers a very large share of normal engineering conversation. It does not give limiting conditions, explicit trigger phrases, or negative examples to clarify when the skill should not activate, making unintended invocation more likely.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
86% confidence
Finding

The markdown instructs users to paste the rules into AGENTS.md 'to activate always-on behavioral rules,' but does not define scope boundaries or exceptions beyond the rule text itself. For a manifest/markdown-triggered skill, 'always-on' creates an unclear activation condition because it can apply across many unrelated interactions unless more specific constraints are stated.
