Security audit

agent-bom scan

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a coherent security-scanning skill, but it can read many local AI-agent configuration files and its activation language is broad enough to deserve user review before installation.

Review before installing if you have private agent, MCP, Snowflake, or AI-tool configuration on this machine. Use it only for explicit security scans, prefer targeted package/image/SBOM checks when possible, and confirm what local config paths will be read before running full discovery.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
84% confidence
Finding
The trigger phrases include broad language such as 'verify', 'is this safe', and 'scan dependencies', which can match ordinary user requests outside a narrowly scoped security-scanning context. In an agent environment, overly broad invocation criteria can cause the skill to activate unexpectedly and read local configuration or perform external lookups when the user did not intend this specific tool to run.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
86% confidence
Finding
The 'When to Use' section repeats ambiguous phrases like 'verify' and 'is this safe' without guardrails tying them to packages, images, SBOMs, or CVE analysis. Because this skill has access to many local agent configuration paths and can contact external services, ambiguous routing language increases the risk of over-invocation and unintended data exposure during normal conversation.
