Event Staffing Procurement

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed TempGuru procurement and staffing-planning helper that uses an external MCP service for policy, planning, and quote-form handoff without hidden code or persistence.

Install only if you are comfortable using TempGuru's external MCP service for procurement answers and event staffing plans. Keep contact details out of MCP requests and enter them only on the TempGuru-owned form after reviewing the returned plan.

Finding

The skill is presented as a narrow procurement and policy-answering agent, but its sole MCP dependency is described as providing broader capabilities including planning, pricing, compliance, and quote tools. That creates a scope mismatch: if the model can access tools outside the declared purpose, prompt injection, user confusion, or orchestration mistakes could cause actions or disclosures beyond what users and reviewers expect.
