Mac Notes Agent

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill appears to do what it says—manage Apple Notes locally—but it can read, change, and delete notes, so users should supervise destructive actions.

Install only if you want the agent to manage your local Apple Notes. Specify folders when possible, avoid broad searches over sensitive notes, and require the agent to confirm before updating or deleting any note.

#
ASI02: Tool Misuse and Exploitation
Medium
What this means

If invoked with the wrong note title, folder, or id, the agent could overwrite or delete a note.

Why it was flagged

The CLI invokes AppleScript through osascript and includes note deletion logic. This is expected for an Apple Notes integration, but it gives the agent local tool authority to mutate or delete notes.

Skill content
execFileSync('osascript', ['-e', script] ...); ... delete n
Recommendation

Use this skill for explicit note-management tasks, and require confirmation before update, append, or delete operations.

#
ASI03: Identity and Privilege Abuse
Low
What this means

The agent can access whichever Apple Notes account is the macOS default, including folders the user may not intend to expose if no folder is specified.

Why it was flagged

The skill acts using the user's configured Apple Notes account authority. This is purpose-aligned, but users should understand it is not a separate sandboxed account.

Skill content
All operations target the **default Notes account**. Optionally you can specify which folder to use.
Recommendation

Specify folders when possible and avoid enabling the skill for tasks where the agent should not access personal Notes content.

#
ASI06: Memory and Context Poisoning
Medium
What this means

Private Apple Notes content may be returned to the agent during get or search operations.

Why it was flagged

Reading and searching note bodies can bring persistent private note content into the agent's context. This is expected for the skill, but it is sensitive data access.

Skill content
Searches note titles and bodies for the keyword.
Recommendation

Do not ask the agent to search broad or sensitive Notes content unless you are comfortable exposing matching note text to the session.

#
ASI04: Agentic Supply Chain Vulnerabilities
Low
What this means

The skill may be installable or invocable in environments where it cannot work, and platform requirements may not be enforced automatically.

Why it was flagged

The registry metadata does not declare prerequisites, while the provided documentation states the skill requires macOS, Node.js, and osascript. This is an under-declared compatibility/provenance issue rather than evidence of malicious behavior.

Skill content
Required binaries (all must exist): none ... OS restriction: none
Recommendation

Use only on macOS with Node.js and osascript available; maintainers should declare these requirements in metadata.
