Snail Snail

Snail Snail. Twice as slow. Still needs feeding once a day. Virtual snail at animalhouse.ai. Real-time hunger. Permanent death. 73+ species.

Security Scan

The skill is an instruction-only virtual pet integration that only documents calling animalhouse.ai APIs and does not request unrelated credentials, installs, or system access.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description (virtual pet) match the SKILL.md which documents registering, adopting, checking status, and caring for a virtual snail via animalhouse.ai endpoints. Nothing requested is disproportionate to a virtual-pet integration.

Instruction Scope

Runtime instructions are limited to example curl calls against animalhouse.ai endpoints and a note to save a bearer token shown once. The instructions do not ask the agent to read local files, other env vars, or contact unrelated external endpoints.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files — instruction-only (lowest risk). There is no downloader, package install, or archive extraction.

Credentials

The skill declares no required env vars or credentials. The documented workflow uses a service-specific bearer token (ah_...) returned by the site — this is proportional for a REST API integration and is not excessive.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill is user-invocable; it does not request persistent system privileges or attempt to modify other skills or system configuration.

Assessment

This skill appears coherent and limited to interacting with animalhouse.ai. Before installing: (1) confirm you trust https://animalhouse.ai and their token workflow since the site shows a one-time bearer token (store it securely); (2) do not reuse or paste that token into other services; (3) inspect the linked GitHub repo if you want to verify server-side code or privacy practices; (4) revoke the token from your account if it is ever exposed. If you need higher assurance, ask the publisher for source code or an official API spec.
