Security audit

ml-engineer

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a prompt-only ML engineering skill with broad but visible workflow guidance and no code, credentials, install hooks, or hidden behavior.

Safe to install as an ML engineering assistant. Use clear project boundaries and require explicit approval before applying deployment, retraining, or infrastructure changes; VirusTotal was still pending, but there was no artifact-backed malicious signal.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
84% confidence
Finding
The skill says "When invoked" and then immediately defines broad actions, but it never specifies concrete trigger phrases, boundaries, or disambiguation rules for when the skill should activate. In a multi-skill agent environment, this ambiguity can cause the skill to be selected for loosely related prompts, leading to overreach, unintended actions, or unsafe interference with other specialized skills.
