Github Agent Trends

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a read-only GitHub trend-reporting helper; its network and optional token use are disclosed and fit its purpose.

Install this if you want an agent to run GitHub trend leaderboards. Use a low-privilege GitHub token only if needed for rate limits, and invoke the skill intentionally because it will run a local Python script and contact GitHub.

Finding
The skill instructs the agent to run a Python script that uses network access to query the GitHub Search API and can read a GitHub token from the environment, yet the skill declares no permissions or safety constraints. This creates a real transparency and policy-enforcement gap: an agent may perform outbound requests and access sensitive environment data without explicit user-facing authorization boundaries.
