Surprise Buddy

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed gift-search integration that sends gift preference filters to its own external MCP service.

Install only if you are comfortable using Surprise Buddy as an external gift-search provider. Avoid entering sensitive personal details beyond what is needed for gift filtering, and be aware that returned product links may include query parameters that should be preserved for link function or attribution.

  • 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
