Universal Video Downloader

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a coherent video downloader that uses yt-dlp for user-provided links and discloses temporary file cleanup behavior.

Install only if you are comfortable with an agent running yt-dlp and ffmpeg locally against user-provided video URLs. For sensitive media, confirm the agent deletes the downloaded file after sending it, and keep in mind that video downloads may be subject to site terms and local law.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The skill clearly instructs the agent to invoke shell commands and Python scripts, but it does not declare corresponding permissions or capabilities. This creates a transparency and policy-enforcement gap: an agent or platform may allow execution beyond what the manifest communicates, increasing the chance of unintended command execution or inadequate review of shell access.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
81% confidence
Finding
The skill states that downloaded files must be deleted immediately after delivery, but it does not clearly disclose this data-retention behavior to users. While not an exploit primitive by itself, it can cause user surprise, failed expectations around file availability, and weak auditability for sensitive or compliance-relevant media handling.
