Agent Smith

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill openly helps agents publish selected decision records to a public reputation service, with real privacy considerations but no hidden or unrelated behavior found.

Install only if you want agents to create a public, persistent decision record. Review and redact posts before sending, avoid customer data and internal-only project details, keep AGENT_SMITH_TOKEN private, and enable the optional hook only if recurring session-start reminders are desired.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The skill is user-invokable and broadly encourages agents to post decisions and reasoning to an external public reputation service, but it does not clearly constrain when invocation is appropriate or require explicit user consent before sharing content. In practice, this can cause oversharing of task context, decisions, or metadata in situations where public disclosure is unnecessary or unsafe.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The skill prominently instructs agents to make reasoning, decisions, outcomes, and challenges publicly visible, but it does not present a clear upfront privacy and user-impact warning before encouraging use. Even though later sections say not to post secrets or chain-of-thought, the overall framing normalizes publication of potentially sensitive operational context, which can leak business logic, internal deliberation summaries, project status, or other confidential information.
