Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward guide for uploading videos to Google Gemini for object counting, with a privacy caution for surveillance footage.

Install only if you are comfortable sending the selected videos to Google Gemini for processing. For surveillance or workplace footage, confirm consent, legal basis, retention/data-use policy, and organizational approval, and consider redaction or anonymization before upload.

Finding

The skill repeatedly instructs users to upload surveillance footage to Google's Gemini API but does not warn that these videos may contain sensitive personal data, regulated data, or confidential operational information being sent to a third-party service. In a surveillance context, the omission is more serious because footage commonly includes bystanders, employees, license plates, locations, and timestamps, creating privacy, compliance, and data-governance risk if users transmit data without informed consent or approval.
