Pathé Movie Skill

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a coherent Pathé Netherlands movie lookup helper that uses public Pathé APIs and disclosed temporary poster handling.

Install if you want Pathé Netherlands movie and showtime lookups. Be aware it contacts Pathé public APIs and may temporarily save poster images locally when sending posters through WhatsApp; keep that behavior limited to user-requested posters and remove temporary files when practical.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs use of network access to Pathé APIs and local file operations via config reads and saving posters under /tmp, but no declared permissions are present. This creates a transparency and policy-enforcement gap: the runtime or reviewer may not realize the skill can access the network and write/read local files, increasing the chance of overprivileged or unexpected behavior.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
82% confidence
Finding
The trigger description is broad enough to catch many generic movie-related requests, which can cause the skill to activate outside the user's likely intent. Over-broad invocation increases the chance of unnecessary network calls, unintended data handling, and interference with other skills or normal assistant behavior.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The skill explicitly directs downloading remote poster images and saving them locally under /tmp for later delivery, without user-facing disclosure or safety constraints. Local file writes from remote content can create privacy, storage, and content-handling risks, especially if filenames, content type, size, or cleanup are not strictly controlled.
