Anthropic Pet

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

The skill appears to use an external pet-data service as part of its stated purpose, with no artifact-backed evidence of hidden, destructive, or unrelated behavior.

Before installing, understand that using this skill may create or use an animalhouse.ai account and send pet-related data to that external service. Do not share bearer tokens in chat or commit them to files, and avoid submitting personal information unless you trust the service’s privacy and retention practices.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs users to register an account and send authenticated pet data to an external service, but it does not clearly warn that data is being transmitted off-platform or describe what data is collected, stored, or how tokens should be handled. In an agent skill context, this can lead to unintended disclosure of user-generated content, account creation on third-party infrastructure, and unsafe handling of bearer tokens.
