Security Scan

The skill's requests and instructions are consistent with a job-tracking / resume toolkit: it only needs npx to run an npm toolkit and a single CAREERMAX_API_KEY; nothing else in the SKILL.md asks for unrelated secrets or system access.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description (job tracking, resume review, cover letters, interview prep) align with the declared dependency (npx) and single required env var (CAREERMAX_API_KEY). The CLI package @careermax/agent-toolkit is a plausible implementation for these capabilities.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md instructs only to set CAREERMAX_API_KEY and run npx commands to call the toolkit; it does not instruct reading unrelated files, other environment variables, or exfiltrating data to unexpected endpoints. It clearly states server-side AI processing and preview/confirm behavior for writes.

Install Mechanism

This is an instruction-only skill and has no formal install spec, but it relies on npx at runtime to fetch/execute @careermax/agent-toolkit from npm. That is reasonable for a CLI-based skill, but npx implies on-demand execution of remote code (network fetch + execution), which carries the usual supply-chain risk if the npm package or account were compromised.

Credentials

Only CAREERMAX_API_KEY is required and declared as primaryEnv — this matches the functionality (API-backed service). No unrelated credentials or broad filesystem/config path access are requested.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not request persistent or elevated agent privileges. No instructions to modify other skills or system-wide agent settings are present.

Assessment

This skill appears coherent with its stated purpose. Before installing: (1) confirm the npm package name (@careermax/agent-toolkit) and inspect its npm listing or source repo to ensure it’s the official package; (2) be aware that using npx will download and run code from the npm registry at runtime — this is normal but carries supply-chain risk if the package or maintainer account is compromised; (3) limit the CAREERMAX_API_KEY scope if possible, and use an API key you can revoke if needed; (4) note a minor metadata mismatch (SKILL.md lists version 0.1.2 while registry shows 0.1.3) — consider verifying the correct package version. If you’re comfortable trusting careermax.ai and the npm package, the skill’s requirements are proportionate.

How It Works

1. The skill connects to Careermax via the @careermax/agent-toolkit MCP server
2. Read operations are instant. Write operations use preview/confirm — you see a summary before anything changes.
3. All AI processing happens server-side on the same backend as the Careermax web app.
