Smart Context

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill only gives efficiency and brevity guidance to the agent, with no hidden code, persistence, credential access, or external data flow.

Install this if you want the agent to be more concise and cost-conscious. Be aware it may favor shorter responses and fewer redundant checks for low-risk work, so explicitly ask for full verification when diligence matters.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
Vulnerability Patterns
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Autonomous Decision Making

Medium
Category
Excessive Agency
Content
- **Batch independent calls** — If you need to check a file AND run a command, do both in one turn
- **Prefer exec over multiple reads** — `grep` across files is cheaper than reading 5 files separately
- **Don't poll in loops** — Use adequate timeouts instead of repeated checks
- **Skip verification for low-risk ops** — Don't re-read a file you just wrote to confirm it saved
- **Use targeted reads** — Read with offset/limit instead of loading entire large files

Finding
Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
