Overview

This Appian auditing skill does what it says, but it handles sensitive Appian credentials and exported application data with scoping gaps users should review first.

Review before installing. Use a least-privileged Appian API key, run it only from a trusted directory, check for unintended appian.json files in parent directories, and delete appian-exports files after use if the exported application data should not remain on disk.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Confidence: 88% confidence
• Finding: The skill writes exported Appian ZIP data to local disk, which may contain sensitive application metadata, but the user-facing description does not prominently warn about this persistence behavior. This creates a data-handling risk because operators may run the skill without understanding that potentially sensitive exports will remain on disk and could be accessed later by other users or processes.
