Lightweight Host Intrusion Detection and Log Analysis System (Mini-HIDS)

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

Mini-HIDS is a disclosed local Linux security tool whose log monitoring, web-root scanning, SQLite state, and firewall ban/unban actions match its stated purpose.

Install only on a Linux host where you intend an agent or local operator to have firewall-control capability. Review config.json first, especially TRUSTED_IPS, BAN_TIME, log paths, web roots, and FIREWALL_BACKEND, because incorrect settings or over-broad agent access could accidentally block legitimate access.

Finding
The skill documents agent-callable ban and unban firewall actions but does not place a clear, immediate warning next to the MCP tool list or example invocation that these operations are privileged and can disrupt connectivity. In an agent-integrated context, this increases the chance of accidental or poorly reviewed execution, potentially causing self-lockout or unintended denial of access on the host.
