Taplio LinkedIn Niche Definer

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Finding

The manifest describes a seven-question diagnostic, positioning synthesis, and Taplio reads to ground the recommendations. L095 additionally authorizes creating a post draft in the user's Taplio account through create_draft(content), introducing a remote write not disclosed in that scope. Offering this optionally and prohibiting publication limits the impact but does not eliminate the mismatch.
