Paper Repro Triage

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed paper-reproduction helper that clones or inspects research code and writes local reports, with clear limits against installing dependencies, downloading datasets, or running training automatically.

Install only if you are comfortable with the agent creating a local paper-repro-workspace, cloning official or likely-official GitHub/GitLab repositories, inspecting repo-like folders in the workspace or PAPER_REPRO_LOCAL_CODE_ROOTS, and writing Markdown reports. Review cloned code and generated requirements before installing packages, downloading datasets, or running any training or evaluation.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs the agent to use shell, file read/write, environment inspection, and network-adjacent repository operations such as `git clone` and running local Python scripts, yet no explicit permissions are declared. This creates a capability/permission mismatch: a caller or reviewer may assume the skill is low-privilege while it actually drives high-impact actions on the workspace and potentially on fetched repositories, increasing the risk of unintended code execution, data exposure, or unsafe file modification.
