Hytale Server

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill transparently manages a local Hytale server, with expected use of a user-provided downloader, credentials file, and background server process.

Install only if you are comfortable running a local Hytale server and executing the official downloader you place in ~/hytale_server. Treat hytale-downloader-credentials.json as sensitive: keep the directory private, avoid committing or syncing it, and use restrictive file permissions.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs the user to place a credential file in a working directory and later run update operations, but it does not warn that this file contains sensitive authentication material or describe how it should be protected. In an agent skill context, omission of credential-handling guidance increases the chance that secrets are stored with weak permissions, exposed in logs, bundled into backups, or mishandled by follow-on automation.
