Edgrapi Government Data

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed Edgrapi API wrapper for public federal procurement, spending, grants, and House trading records.

Install this only if you are comfortable giving it an Edgrapi API key and allowing calls to Edgrapi.com. Each tool call consumes Edgrapi credits, and results should be treated with the documented limits: federal data only, House trades only, trade disclosure lag, and dollar ranges rather than exact amounts.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • 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
Vulnerability Patterns

Finding

The skill requires environment access to read an API key and network access to call a third-party service, but it does not declare any explicit tool scope such as permissions or allowed-tools. That increases the attack surface because a host may grant broader capabilities than necessary, making it harder to enforce least privilege and easier for a compromised or modified implementation to access unintended tools or destinations.
