Small Electronics Recycling Prep

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a prompt-only checklist skill for preparing small electronics for recycling, with clear limits against credential handling, code execution, or secure-erasure claims.

Installers should understand this skill provides organization and safety reminders only. Users still need to follow manufacturer wipe steps, official recycler rules, and professional or organization-approved processes for sensitive devices.

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

Autonomous Decision Making

75% confidence
Finding

Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

1. Agent reads SKILL.md, asks for device types, counts, whether items may contain personal data, battery types, accessories, and intended destination.
  2. Agent inventories the pile, separates data-bearing devices, creates data-removal reminders, sorts batteries and hazards, matches accessories, and checks destination rules.
  3. Agent produces the Pile Snapshot, Sort List, Data Removal Reminders, Battery and Safety Check, Accessory Match, Pack Map, Confirm Before Drop-Off list, and Carry-Out Checklist.
- **Output:** A one-page electronics recycling prep card with a sort list separating data-bearing, battery-sensitive, and ready-to-recycle items — plus data-wipe reminders, accessory matching, pack-by-bag labels, and a carry-out checklist — all without asking for passwords or promising secure erasure.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

Line L06 states 'Language is English only,' and L22 repeats 'English only,' which is a natural-language locale restriction. The policy guidance says to flag language or locale constraints unless the skill offers user choice or clearly justifies the restriction as region-specific or otherwise necessary.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low

Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The manifest specifies language: "en", which is a natural-language locale constraint. Under the policy, forcing a specific language without user opt-in can be a violation unless the constraint is clearly justified as region-specific, which is not stated here.
