Huggingface Trends

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill appears to be a straightforward Hugging Face model-trends helper with disclosed network access, optional JSON export, and an optional manual cron example.

Install this only if you want a command-line tool that contacts Hugging Face for public model metadata. Use a trusted proxy or omit the proxy if direct access works, choose JSON output paths carefully to avoid overwriting files, and add the cron example only if you deliberately want daily background runs and log files.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The skill documentation instructs users to perform network access to Hugging Face and optionally write JSON output files, but the skill metadata shown in this file does not declare corresponding permissions. That mismatch can bypass user expectations and platform governance, making network exfiltration or unintended file creation harder to audit even if the described behavior is legitimate for the skill’s purpose.
