TencentCloud FaceID DetectAIFakeFaces

PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.

Overview

This skill appears to do what it claims—send user-provided face images or videos to Tencent Cloud for fake-face detection—but it handles biometric media and Tencent Cloud API credentials.

Before installing, make sure you are comfortable sending face images or videos to Tencent Cloud, have legal consent for any personal biometric data, and use a properly scoped Tencent Cloud API key. The artifacts do not show hidden persistence, destructive actions, or unrelated data access.

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

The skill will use Tencent Cloud account credentials to call the FaceID API, which may incur account usage and should be limited to appropriate permissions.

Why it was flagged

The skill requires Tencent Cloud API credentials, while the registry metadata declares no required env vars or primary credential. The use is expected for this Tencent Cloud API skill, but users should notice the credential requirement.

Skill content
环境变量:
  - `TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_ID`:腾讯云API密钥ID
  - `TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_KEY`:腾讯云API密钥Key
Recommendation

Use a Tencent Cloud key scoped for the FaceID service where possible, avoid sharing long-lived credentials, and rotate the key if it is exposed.

What this means

A local face image or video provided to the script will be processed and sent to Tencent Cloud for analysis.

Why it was flagged

The script reads a user-supplied local image or video file and encodes it for API submission. This is central to the stated fake-face detection purpose and is bounded by file size checks.

Skill content
if os.path.isfile(value):
        with open(value, "rb") as f:
            raw = f.read()
Recommendation

Only provide files you intend to submit to Tencent Cloud, and verify consent from the person whose face data is included.

What this means

Face images or videos may leave the local environment and be processed by Tencent Cloud under its service terms.

Why it was flagged

The skill sends the provided FaceInput to Tencent Cloud's FaceID endpoint. This external provider call is disclosed and purpose-aligned, but it involves biometric media.

Skill content
http_profile.endpoint = "faceid.tencentcloudapi.com"
Recommendation

Review Tencent Cloud's FaceID terms and privacy requirements before submitting biometric data, especially for other people’s images or videos.

What this means

Installing an unpinned dependency can expose users to package version changes or package-source risk.

Why it was flagged

The skill relies on a manually installed, unpinned Python package. This is normal for an SDK-based integration, but users should install it from a trusted package source.

Skill content
依赖:`tencentcloud-sdk-python`(通过 `pip install tencentcloud-sdk-python` 安装)
Recommendation

Install the official Tencent Cloud SDK from a trusted package index and consider pinning a known-good version in controlled environments.
