Control Chromecast

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward Chromecast control reference that can affect local Cast devices, but its capabilities are disclosed and match its purpose.

Install only if you want an agent to operate Chromecast or Google Cast devices on your local network. In shared homes or offices, use explicit device selection with `-d <device>`, confirm the target before casting or changing volume, and be cautious with `catt save`/`catt restore` because saved playback state may reveal or replay prior media.

Missing User Warnings

Low
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The skill controls Chromecast devices over the local network and can discover or operate shared household/workplace devices, but the documentation does not clearly warn users about that scope. This can lead to unintended control of nearby devices, privacy surprises, or disruptive playback on shared TVs/speakers even if the underlying commands are legitimate.
