YouTube to Viral Clips with Captions

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This MakeAIClips skill is a mostly disclosed API integration, but it forces promotional pricing and upgrade links into agent replies whether or not the user asked for them.

Install only if you are comfortable sending YouTube links or uploaded videos to makeaiclips.live and using that vendor's API key. Expect the skill to include commercial MakeAIClips messaging and upgrade links in responses; treat those as vendor promotion, not neutral agent guidance.

A.I.G

Vulnerability Patterns

  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
