The heap-snapshot workflow omits a warning that the saved snapshot may contain sensitive application data.

Heap snapshots can contain credentials, tokens, personal information, and other sensitive values retained in application memory. The workflow recommends saving a snapshot to a predictable /tmp path without warning about its sensitivity or specifying access controls and cleanup, creating a potential disclosure risk if the artifact is accessible to other users or later shared. Heap collection is legitimate in this debugging skill, and no exfiltration is instructed, so this is a handling omission rather than evidence of malicious intent.
