Youtube Analytics

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This YouTube Analytics skill is legitimate-looking, but it gives an agent broad authenticated Membrane/YouTube action and proxy access without clear safeguards for delete or update operations.

Install only if you trust Membrane and are comfortable delegating YouTube access through it. Check the OAuth scopes carefully, prefer read-only report actions when possible, and require explicit confirmation before any delete, remove, update, comment, channel, or raw proxy request.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium
Confidence
85% confidence
Finding
The manifest advertises channel/comment/report management, but the documented operations primarily cover analytics reporting and group management. This mismatch can mislead users and orchestration systems about what the skill can actually access or modify, weakening informed consent and safe tool selection.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The skill exposes a destructive delete-group action without any warning, confirmation, or guidance to verify user intent before execution. In an agentic setting, this increases the chance of accidental deletion from ambiguous prompts or over-eager automation, especially because the skill also encourages direct action discovery and execution.
