Security audit

GATEWAY x402

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This markdown-only skill is coherent with Algorand x402 discovery and discloses paid wallet use, but users should control spending before paid calls.

Before installing, understand that /discover and /orchestrate may spend USDC from the agent wallet. Use the free registry first, require affirmative confirmation or a budget limit for paid calls, and probe or verify peers before trusting orchestrated results.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The skill explicitly instructs the agent to call paid discovery and orchestration endpoints using the agent’s wallet, but it does not present a clear user-facing warning, consent requirement, or spending boundary at the point of use. This can lead to unintended fund expenditure during routine discovery actions, especially because discovery is framed as a default workflow rather than an exceptional paid action.
