Codex Token Usage

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill appears benign: it reads local Codex session logs to calculate token usage and does not show network transfer, persistence, or hidden behavior.

Install only if you are comfortable with a local script reading your Codex session log files to compute aggregate token usage. Use a specific --codex-home path if you want to limit which Codex logs are analyzed.

Finding
The skill instructs the agent to execute a local Python script, read local Codex session logs, access environment-dependent paths, and optionally write machine-readable output for downstream automation, yet it declares no permissions. This mismatch is dangerous because users and enforcement systems may assume the skill is non-privileged when it actually performs shell execution and local file access, increasing the risk of unintended data exposure from sensitive usage logs and reducing policy visibility.
