pomodoist

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is a disclosed Pomodoist MCP integration that configures OAuth access and task/focus tools with explicit user setup and write controls.

Install only if you intend to connect OpenClaw to Pomodoist. Start with the default read-only configuration, enable --write only when you want task/project changes and Focus controls, and use a trusted Pomodoist or self-hosted MCP endpoint because task data will flow through that service.

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

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
50% confidence
Finding

Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.

For self-hosting, replace the URL with the operator's HTTPS MCP resource URL,
normally `https://api.example.com/functions/v1/pomodoist-mcp`. Exact loopback
HTTP hosts are accepted for local development. No environment variable or API
key is required by the skill. OAuth credentials remain in OpenClaw's native
credential store. The setup verifies CLI compatibility and refuses to replace a

Scope Creep

Low
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
70% confidence
Finding

Skill's behavior or capabilities extend beyond its stated purpose. Scope creep allows an agent to perform actions unrelated to its documented functionality, increasing the attack surface.
