Ascii Pet

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

The skill appears to be a normal authenticated pet-service API integration, with a minor documentation gap around safe bearer-token handling.

Before installing, treat the bearer token like a password: store it in a secret manager or environment variable, avoid pasting it directly into commands that may enter shell history, redact it from logs or screenshots, and rotate or revoke it if it is exposed.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Confidence: 91% confidence
Finding: The skill instructs users to create and use a bearer token that is shown once, but it does not warn about storing it securely or avoiding exposure through shell history, terminal logs, screenshots, or pasted commands. Because the token grants authenticated access to the pet account APIs, accidental disclosure could let another party act on the user's account.
