Stdio Skill

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a local file dropbox for an agent, with file operations confined to its own inbox, tmp, and outbox folders.

Install this only if you want an agent-accessible local file handoff area. Put only intended files in the stdio folders, be aware that overwrite and delete operations are destructive within those folders, and avoid sharing stdio_paths output if absolute local paths are sensitive.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The skill intentionally exposes the absolute repository root and stdio box paths via the `stdio_paths` tool. While it does not directly grant broader filesystem access, disclosing absolute internal paths leaks environmental information that is unnecessary for a simple inbox/outbox bridge and can aid follow-on attacks, targeting, or misuse by downstream agents.
