Security audit

planning-toolkit

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a planning and iteration toolkit that writes local planning files and bounded loop state, with no evidence of hidden data access, exfiltration, or destructive behavior.

Install only if you want a workflow that creates persistent planning artifacts in your repository and may guide agents through bounded iterative work. Use simple task slugs, review generated plans before execution, and avoid enabling loop or cleanup modes unless you have clear stopping criteria and are comfortable with local file changes.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The skill clearly instructs the agent to read and write files (for example creating `.planning/...`, copying templates, and updating planning artifacts), yet no explicit permissions are declared. This creates a capability/permission mismatch that can cause unsafe or unexpected filesystem modification when the skill is invoked, especially because it encourages persistent state writes across many phases.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
The iterative execution trigger list is overly broad and includes common natural-language phrases such as iterative improvement, auto-retry, or performance iteration. That makes accidental activation plausible during ordinary user requests, which could push the agent into repeated loops, extra tool use, unnecessary file writes, or prolonged autonomous behavior without clear user intent.
