Security audit

Crowded Trade Detector

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a legitimate paid crypto-signal integration, but it asks agents to use an EVM private key for automatic paid requests without clear per-call user confirmation.

Review before installing. Use a dedicated low-balance wallet on Base mainnet, confirm the price before each call, avoid storing a primary wallet private key in the agent environment, and monitor repeated calls because the skill can authorize real USDC charges when invoked.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs the agent to make an x402-authenticated request using an EVM private key and notes that payment authorization is handled automatically, but it does not present a clear warning that invoking the skill can spend wallet funds. This creates a real risk of unintended on-chain charges or repeated paid calls by users or agents who do not fully understand the billing behavior.
