Capgo Cli Usage

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward Capgo CLI routing guide, but users should be careful because it points agents at Capgo tools that can change or delete Capgo resources.

Before installing or using this skill, connect Capgo with the least-privileged account or API key that fits the task. Treat actions such as app deletion, uploads, rollouts, native build requests, webhooks, and push notification changes as state-changing operations that should be explicitly reviewed and confirmed. If supply-chain repeatability matters, prefer a pinned Capgo CLI version instead of `@latest`.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
Vulnerability Patterns
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Capgo has two MCP servers. Use both when available.

- Hosted MCP: `https://api.capgo.app/mcp` (streamable HTTP). Nothing to install; the client signs in with OAuth, or sends `Authorization: Bearer <Capgo API key>`. The hosted MCP includes destructive tools, so use an API key with the smallest role the task needs (read-only for reporting). Covers apps, bundles, channels, progressive rollouts, devices, stats, update health, native build status and logs, webhooks, and push notifications. Example for Claude Code: `claude mcp add --transport http capgo https://api.capgo.app/mcp`, then `/mcp` to sign in.
- Local CLI MCP: `npx @capgo/cli@latest mcp` (stdio). Needed to upload a bundle from the build folder, request a native build, or run `doctor`.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
87% confidence
Finding

The skill documentation states that the hosted MCP includes destructive tools and lists operations such as bundle upload, native builds, and app delete, but it does not clearly instruct the agent to warn or confirm with the user before performing such actions. For a markdown skill description, omission of explicit warnings about behaviors that can affect user data or system state matches the missing user warnings category.

MCP Rug Pull

Finding

npx commands without a version suffix (e.g. @1.0.0) create a rug-pull risk if the upstream server is compromised and publishes a malicious update.
