Apple Mail Search

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a local, read-only Apple Mail metadata search helper, but users should treat its results and exports as private email information.

Install only if you want an agent to search Apple Mail metadata on this Mac. Verify the separate mail-search executable before copying it to /usr/local/bin, keep searches narrow, and review JSON/CSV exports before sharing them.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The description says to use the skill when asked to "find, search, or list emails," which is broad enough to trigger on many natural-language requests without making the privacy-sensitive nature of local Mail access explicit. This increases the chance an agent invokes the skill on ambiguous prompts and exposes local email metadata without sufficiently informed user intent.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The skill description omits a warning that it accesses the user's local Apple Mail SQLite database and can reveal sensitive metadata such as senders, recipients, subjects, dates, and attachments. Without that disclosure, an agent or user may treat it as a harmless search helper rather than a privacy-sensitive local data access tool.
