Signal CLI

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill transparently uses a local Signal CLI setup to find recipients and send user-confirmed Signal messages.

Install only if you trust your local signal-cli setup and are comfortable letting the agent use your registered Signal account. Confirm the exact recipient, message text, and attachments before sending, and avoid broad contact lookups unless they are needed.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The skill invokes local shell commands (`signal-cli` and bundled Python scripts) but declares no permissions, creating a capability/permission mismatch. Even if the functionality is legitimate, undeclared shell access reduces transparency and can let a caller trigger local messaging actions or contact enumeration without an explicit security boundary review.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
84% confidence
Finding
The script retrieves a user's local Signal contact list and emits personally identifiable contact data such as names, nicknames, phone numbers, usernames, and UUIDs in JSON. In the context of an agent skill, this can expose sensitive address-book data to the calling agent or downstream systems without any in-code minimization, consent check, or disclosure, increasing privacy and data-exfiltration risk.
