LLMs.txt Generator

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill has a coherent purpose, but its crawler is under-scoped enough that it can fetch unintended internal URLs and feed untrusted page text into the agent.

Review this skill before installing. It is not deceptive, but only use it in an environment where outbound network access is contained, avoid crawling private or sensitive URLs, treat generated content as draft output, and manually verify claims and links before publishing the resulting llms.txt.

It also enables `follow_redirects=True` without checking the destination of each redirect. Consequently, the crawler can be instructed to contact: - Loopback services such as `127.0.0.1` or `::1` - RFC1918 private networks - Link-local services and cloud metadata endpoints - Internal DN ...[truncated 1985 chars]

Undeclared Tool Scope

Medium
Category
MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The skill instructs the agent to crawl arbitrary user-supplied websites and run a local Python crawler, but the manifest does not declare any explicit tool scope or allowed-tools boundaries. That increases the risk of unintended network access and makes it harder to constrain what external requests the skill may perform, especially if the crawler follows redirects or accepts extra URLs from the user.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Session Persistence

Medium
Category
Rogue Agent
Confidence
60% confidence
Finding

Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.

description: Generate a well-structured llms.txt file for any business website. Crawls the site, has a short conversation to fill in gaps, and produces an agent-optimized llms.txt. Trigger when a user asks to "generate llms.txt", "make my site agent-readable", "create llms.txt for [url]", or "update my llms.txt".

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
84% confidence
Finding

The skill performs website crawling and extracts structured business information, but it does not clearly warn users about what data may be collected, processed, or retained. This is risky because crawled pages may contain personal data, unpublished contact details, or sensitive text that gets ingested into prompts and temporary files without informed consent.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

Deep crawl mode escalates collection by ingesting full raw text from every crawled page and feeding it into generation prompts, yet the user warning only mentions that it 'takes a bit longer.' This can unexpectedly capture large amounts of sensitive or irrelevant content, increasing privacy, prompt-injection, and data-handling risk beyond what the user may reasonably expect.

External Transmission

Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
50% confidence
Finding

Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

This script performs live crawling of arbitrary user-supplied websites, extracts emails and substantial raw page text, and emits that data directly as JSON without any explicit consent, minimization, or warning mechanism. In the context of an agent skill, that creates a real privacy and data-handling risk because the output may contain personal or sensitive business information from pages the user did not realize would be collected and surfaced.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
77% confidence
Finding

The manifest description focuses on crawling a site, conversing with the user, and producing an llms.txt file, but the implementation explicitly writes intermediate and final artifacts to local filesystem paths such as /tmp/llms_business_info.json and /tmp/llms_final.txt. Persisting files may be an implementation choice, but it is still behavior beyond the plain-language description of generation alone.

Intent-Code Divergence

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

Line L170 says '## Team: Always include' but the same sentence then says 'If none available, omit silently,' which is an active contradiction in the documented intent. This creates ambiguity about expected behavior and could cause inconsistent implementations.
