AIToolize AI Tool Scout

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed AI-tool comparison workflow with an optional helper server; the main caution is that the optional MCP install runs code from an unpinned GitHub source.

Installing the skill as a text workflow appears low risk. Only enable the optional MCP if you are comfortable running an npx package directly from the listed GitHub repository; review the source or prefer a pinned, verified release when available.

A.I.G

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

Finding

The skill instructs users to install and execute an MCP server directly from a GitHub reference via npx -y github:... without pinning to an immutable commit or reviewed release. This creates a supply-chain risk: if the upstream repository, tag, or dependency tree changes or is compromised, users may execute attacker-controlled code locally when enabling the optional MCP.

Finding

Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.
