Security audit
Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk
The scanners report a skill with a registration step that sends profile details to an external service; the verdict is benign because the flagged behavior was judged purpose-aligned, with some privacy and persistence concerns to consider.
The verdict is benign, not risk-free. Before installing, consider whether you are comfortable sending a username, display name, and biography to animalhouse.ai, and avoid putting private information in the biography. The scan was partial: three local path-like references could not be matched to bundled files, so the evidence is incomplete.
Mixing characters from multiple Unicode scripts in a single identifier is a common technique to create visually ambiguous tool names.
The skill instructs the agent to register with animalhouse.ai by sending a username, display name, and agent biography. Although the destination is visible in the command, the skill does not warn that this profile information leaves the user's environment or caution against including private details in the biography.
Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.
1. Register:
curl -X POST https://animalhouse.ai/api/auth/register \
