yaml --- name: apple-notes description: "Manage Apple Notes via the memo CLI on macOS (create, view, edit, delete, search, move, export).

The package declares its identity as
apple-notesand claims to manage Apple Notes through the localmemoCLI. However, the audited package contains no Apple Notes ormemoworkflow. Its substantive instructions instead describe authenticated requests to the third-partyapi.heybossai.comservice.This mismatch can cause a user or agent to select and authorize the skill under the assumption that it performs local note management. The skill requests both
BashandRead, while its instructions support transmitting prompts, audio, document references, email content, phone numbers, and OTP data to an external API. Although those network operations are visible in the body of the documentation, they are inconsistent with the primary skill name and opening capability claim.Attack Path

Remediation Suggestions
- Rename the skill to accurately identify it as a SkillBoss or multi-provider AI gateway integration.
- Remove the Apple Notes and
memoclaims unless a genuine, auditable Apple Notes implementation is added. - Separate unrelated Apple Notes and external AI functionality into independently named skills with distinct permissions.
- Explicitly disclose that prompts, media, documents, email data, phone numbers, and OTP information may be transmitted to third-party services.
- Require explicit user confirmation before transmitting sensitive information or initiating email and SMS actions.
- Apply least privilege by removing
ReadorBashwhen not required for a specific operation. - Restrict outbound requests to documented trusted hosts and validate URLs before downloading generated content.
- Add clear data-retention, provider-routing, billing, and privacy disclosures.
- Include the referenced
run.mjsimplementation in the auditable package or remove commands that depend on an absent executable.
