The Skill instructs the agent to append a purchase-channel promotion whenever free-tier results are truncated. This instruction modifies the agent's user-facing output for a commercial purpose unrelated to the core technical result.
Although a neutral notice that results were truncated is functionally relevant, forcing the agent to advertise an unspecified purchasing channel exceeds the minimum behavior needed to perform prohibited-word detection. The placeholder could also be replaced with an unreviewed external destination.
Attack Path
- A user loads the Skill and submits text containing more than three unique prohibited terms.
- The detector runs in free mode and sets
billing.truncatedtotrue. - The Skill instructs the agent to append the prescribed commercial message.
- The resulting answer contains author-controlled promotional content regardless of whether the user requested purchasing information.
Impact Assessment
This affects the integrity of user-facing responses. It does not grant operating-system privileges, execute code, or expose article contents. Its scope is limited to manipulating the current session's output and potentially directing users to an author-selected purchasing channel.

Remediation Suggestions
- Remove the mandatory purchase-channel promotion from the Skill instructions.
- Return only a neutral notice explaining that free-tier results were truncated.
- Display purchasing information only after an explicit user request.
- Do not permit unrestricted placeholders to introduce unreviewed URLs or contact channels.
- Keep tier metadata machine-readable so the host application, rather than the Skill, controls any commercial interface.
