TrustLayer Sybil Scanner

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed TrustLayer API helper for checking agent reputation and Sybil risk, with no hidden install steps or persistence found.

Install only if you are comfortable querying TrustLayer's external API with agent IDs, chains, and possibly wallet addresses. Some listed endpoints are described as paid x402 endpoints, so confirm payment behavior before using those in an environment that can automatically satisfy HTTP 402 payment requests.

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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
