Local Life

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill has a coherent local-dashboard purpose, but it needs review because it tells the agent to run shell curl commands with a user-provided city and sends location-related queries to third-party services.

Review before installing. Use it only if you are comfortable sharing city-level location and related local queries with public services. Agents using this skill should encode the city as URL data and avoid placing raw user input into shell commands; a safer HTTP request tool is preferable.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The activation phrases are broad enough to match common requests about weather or daily summaries, which increases the chance the skill runs unexpectedly. Because the skill then queries external services and may perform web search, accidental activation can cause unneeded data disclosure and surprising behavior for users.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
Using Goiânia as a default when the user does not specify a city creates ambiguous behavior and can present inaccurate local data as if it were relevant to the user. In a skill that aggregates real-time local information, this can mislead users and trigger third-party requests for a location the user did not actually choose.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The skill description does not warn that city/location queries are sent to third-party endpoints and that a web search fallback may be used for air quality. This is a privacy and transparency issue because users may not realize their location context is being transmitted outside the agent environment.
