Ironprose

Security checks across static analysis, malware telemetry, and agentic risk

Overview

IronProse appears purpose-aligned for fiction-prose analysis, but it relies on an external CLI/API that may process manuscript text and can optionally use an API key.

This skill looks coherent for prose analysis. Before installing, make sure you trust the IronProse CLI package and are comfortable sending manuscript text to its default API service; use a limited API key and avoid submitting confidential writing unless the service’s privacy practices meet your needs.

#
ASI04: Agentic Supply Chain Vulnerabilities
Low
What this means

Installing or invoking the CLI requires trusting the upstream IronProse package.

Why it was flagged

The skill depends on an external CLI package rather than bundled code; using npx or cargo obtains and runs code from package ecosystems.

Skill content
# Install via npm (recommended)
npx ironprose --help

# Or install via cargo
cargo install ironprose-cli
Recommendation

Install only from the expected project/package source, prefer reviewed or pinned versions when available, and avoid running unexpected install commands.

#
ASI07: Insecure Inter-Agent Communication
Medium
What this means

Unpublished or private writing submitted for analysis may be sent to the external IronProse service.

Why it was flagged

The CLI is configured to use a default external API endpoint, while the documented workflows analyze manuscript text from files, stdin, clipboard, or JSON input.

Skill content
--api-url <API_URL>  IronProse API base URL [env: IRONPROSE_API_URL=] [default: https://prose-mcp.fly.dev]
Recommendation

Review the service’s privacy terms before analyzing sensitive manuscripts, and use a trusted custom API URL or local alternative if confidentiality is important.

#
ASI03: Identity and Privilege Abuse
Low
What this means

If an API key is configured, the agent or CLI may use that account’s quota or authenticated access when analyzing text.

Why it was flagged

The skill documents an optional API credential for authenticated access; this is expected for an external service but is still a credential boundary users should notice.

Skill content
--api-key <API_KEY>  API key for authenticated access (optional, free tier available) [env: IRONPROSE_API_KEY=]
Recommendation

Use a limited-scope key if available, do not paste keys into prompts, and revoke or rotate the key if it is exposed.
