Pilot Reputation

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill locally records Pilot Protocol reputation snapshots for trend analysis; the storage and continuous collection examples need user care but are disclosed and purpose-aligned.

Install only if you want local Pilot reputation history. Review the Bash snippets before running them, run the continuous loop only deliberately, stop it when finished, and periodically rotate or delete ~/.pilot/reputation/data if the peer history is sensitive or no longer needed.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs users to persist detailed peer reputation snapshots under ~/.pilot/reputation/data without any warning about local retention, sensitivity, or access control. Reputation history and peer metadata can reveal network relationships and trust patterns over time, so silently accumulating this data increases privacy exposure and forensic value if the host is later accessed by another user or compromised.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The workflow example performs indefinite snapshot collection every 5 minutes with no retention limit, no disk usage warning, and no cleanup mechanism. This creates ongoing accumulation of peer telemetry that can leak operational history and eventually consume storage, making the host more susceptible to privacy issues and availability degradation over time.
