Youtube Shorts

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a disclosed YouTube Shorts drafting and scheduling guidance skill with no hidden code, persistence, or unsupported data handling.

Before installing, make sure you are comfortable with the agent using your brand and voice context and, when you ask it to publish, handing finished Shorts to WoopSocial for scheduling. Confirm account permissions before scheduling or deleting posts, and read performance metrics directly from YouTube Studio as the skill instructs.

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

## Publishing → scheduling-and-queue → WoopSocial
Route the finished Short through **scheduling-and-queue**, which connects to WoopSocial via
**`tools/integrations/woopsocial.md`** (indexed in `tools/REGISTRY.md`).
- **Endpoints:** MCP `https://api.woopsocial.com/mcp` · REST `https://api.woopsocial.com/v1`.
- **YouTube is a supported platform** (one of 10, as of July 2026). Native scheduling; auto per-platform handling.
- **Lifecycle:** create / list / read / **validate** / delete. **No update** — editing a Short
  means **delete + recreate**. Validate before publishing.
