Predict

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a local forecasting template that overstates its analytical depth but does not show hidden, destructive, or data-exfiltrating behavior.

Install only if you want a local forecasting note-taking/checklist helper. Do not rely on it for actual predictive modeling or probability estimates unless the missing analytical scripts are added and reviewed.

MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The declared purpose says the skill performs substantive forecasting, probability evaluation, scenario generation, and risk assessment, but the file content only provides static guidance while also persisting data locally. This mismatch can mislead users and orchestrators into trusting outputs as analytically grounded when they are not, and it obscures persistent storage behavior that may affect privacy and decision-making.

Undeclared Tool Scope

Medium
Category
MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The skill advertises local file storage and references scripts that imply file read/write behavior, but it does not declare any explicit tool scope such as permissions or allowed-tools. This creates an authorization gap: the runtime may grant broader-than-expected file capabilities, and reviewers or users cannot clearly verify what the skill is allowed to access or modify.

Vague Triggers

Finding

The manifest says to use the skill when the user mentions "predictions, forecasts, trends, scenarios, or future outcomes," which is a very broad activation condition with no exclusions or context limits. Terms like "trends" and "scenarios" commonly appear in everyday analysis requests, so this could cause unintended invocation beyond forecasting-specific tasks.

Intent-Code Divergence

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The module docstring claims the script forecasts trends, but the code never computes or returns a forecast. While narrower than the manifest-level mismatch, this still contributes to misleading operator expectations and can cause other components to trust a non-existent analytical result.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The skill advertises prediction and forecasting analysis, but the implementation only prints a generic checklist and stores user-supplied metadata. This is dangerous because downstream users or agents may rely on the output as if it were an actual forecast, creating a deceptive capability mismatch that can misinform decisions about trends, outcomes, or risks.
