Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk
This skill is a bounded caption-file preflight workflow that uses a disclosed PowMCP checker, with install and data-sharing caveats users should understand.
Before installing, confirm you trust PowMCP and the skill source, preferably use a pinned or reviewed revision if available, and remember that caption files or public URLs submitted to the MCP service may be processed remotely. Do not provide credentialed or private URLs unless you intend to share that caption content with the service.
SKILL.md:40Unpinned Third-Party Installer and Skill Source
The skill instructs users to install and run an MCP-related package via npx skills add powmcp/skills without any version pinning or integrity control. That creates a supply-chain risk: a future compromised, typosquatted, or maliciously updated package/version could be executed in the user's environment when they follow the skill.
Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
Use the actual WebVTT, SRT, or TTML/IMSC file intended for handoff, not a draft or reconstruction.
Provide one attached file or one public HTTP(S) URL. Do not provide both. Do not ask the user to host an attached file publicly.
Record the attachment identity or public URL. Do not repeat a URL query string in narration.
