Shadow AI Monitor

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed local dashboard generator, but users should handle its employee-monitoring reports and optional external delivery carefully.

Install only if you are authorized to analyze employee AI-tool usage. Treat generated reports as sensitive, store them in approved locations, avoid the CDN-backed dashboard in strict offline environments, and do not monitor workplace communications or send metrics to WhatsApp without legal, HR, privacy, and security approval.

Intent-Code Divergence

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The documentation states there are 'No External API Calls,' but the dashboard technology section explicitly says Chart.js is loaded from the jsDelivr CDN. That creates a network dependency and a supply-chain exposure surface, and it can mislead users operating under strict privacy or offline assumptions.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium
Confidence
86% confidence
Finding
The weekly report example adds WhatsApp delivery even though the skill is described as a local dashboard/report generator. Sending metrics through a third-party messaging channel can leak compliance and employee-risk information outside the intended local processing boundary.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
The workflow advises monitoring Slack/Teams/Email for AI tool mentions and logging them to JSON, but it omits consent, minimization, legal review, retention, and employee-notice safeguards. In a monitoring/compliance context, this omission materially increases privacy, labor, and regulatory risk.

Ssd 3

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The documentation proposes collecting employees' AI-tool mentions from workplace communications and logging them into a dataset. That is a concrete surveillance/data-collection pattern involving potentially sensitive employee and message metadata, and it can expose private communications if implemented without strict governance.
