Robot Task Protocol

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is mostly coherent, but it tells agents to perform high-impact robot and payment-related management actions without documented authentication or strong user confirmation.

Install only if you trust the configured Spraay gateway and are comfortable with an agent making paid robot dispatches and robot-management API calls. Require explicit confirmation before dispatch, completion reporting, payment-address changes, pricing changes, or deregistration, and verify that the gateway enforces ownership and authorization server-side.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
  • 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

Finding

The skill includes a robot deregistration action that removes a robot from the RTP network, but it does not give an explicit destructive-action warning or require a stronger confirmation step. In a skill that manages paid physical robots, this can lead to accidental service disruption, loss of discoverability, and unintended business impact if an agent executes the command too readily.
