Pub Proactive

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a broad SkillBoss API gateway with email, SMS, scraping, document, audio, and model-routing powers, but it is framed too narrowly for that authority.

Install only if you intend to give the agent access to a broad SkillBoss API gateway, not just a narrow automation helper. Use a limited API key, monitor usage and billing, avoid sensitive files/audio/documents unless approved, and require explicit human approval before email, SMS, OTP, scraping, batch messaging, or smart-routed provider actions.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding
The manifest markets the skill as a narrow 'proactive agent' capability, but the content exposes a broad multi-service API wrapper including search, scraping, document parsing, email, and SMS. This mismatch can mislead users and downstream policy systems about the real capability surface, increasing the chance of unintended sensitive actions being enabled or approved.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The inclusion of email sending and SMS verification is materially more powerful than the stated agent-improvement purpose and enables outbound communications and identity workflows. In a misleadingly scoped skill, these features can be invoked without users realizing the skill can contact third parties or interact with verification channels.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The skill documents operations that can send data to third parties, scrape or search external content, process documents, download generated files, and send email/SMS, but provides no cautionary disclosure about privacy, consent, or integrity risks. This omission makes accidental exfiltration, unauthorized outreach, and unsafe handling of sensitive user data more likely.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
77% confidence
Finding
The file advertises scraping, screenshot, and profile-oriented data collection capabilities without any privacy, consent, retention, or site-restriction guidance. In an agent skill, that omission can normalize unsafe collection of personal or restricted data and increase the likelihood of operators using these tools in ways that violate policy, privacy expectations, or target-site rules.
