Agent Dev Toolkit

• Outcome: Review
• Latest audit: Sep 11, 2026 · 7:55 AM UTC
• Version: 1.0.0

Overview

This is a coherent agent-development toolkit, but it documents high-impact wallet transactions and broad agent permissions without enough scoping or default safeguards.

Review this before installing. Do not use the wallet component with real funds unless policies are configured first, transaction approvals are required, API keys are protected, and arbitrary calldata is disabled or tightly allowlisted. Avoid copying the broad .claude/settings.json allowlist as written; restrict file access, write access, Bash commands, and WebFetch domains to the specific project and task. Prefer pinned versions or reviewed commits for installation.

A.I.G

Vulnerability Patterns

• Unauthorized Access and Privilege Escalation: Obtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
• Insecure Dependencies: Introduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
• Insecure Skill Coding Practices: Finds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
• Skill Instruction Hijacking: Alters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
• Agent Memory Poisoning: Writes attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions

file << 'EOF'` heredocs instead of Write tool. Each bash command requires approval, causing dozens of prompts per agent run. ### Allowlist Pattern Instead of restricting Bash, allowlist safe commands in `.claude/settings.json`: ```json { "permissions": { "allow": [ "Write", "Edit", "WebFetch(domain:*)", "Bash(cd *)", "Bash(cp *)", "Bash(mkdir *)", "Bash(ls *)", "Bash(cat *)", "Bash(head *)", "Bash(tail *)", "Bash(grep *)", "Bash(diff *)", "Bash(mv *)", "Bash(touch *)", "Bash(file *)" ] } } ``` ``` ### Technical Analysis The proposed permission configuration is described as an allowlist, but several entries are effectively unrestricted capabilities: - `WebFetch(domain:*)` allows communication with any domain. - `Bash(cat *)`, `Bash(head *)`, `Bash(tail *)`, and `Bash(grep *)` can disclose readable files outside the project. - `Bash(cp *)` and `Bash(mv *)` can copy or relocate sensitive files. - `Write` and `Edit` are not restricted to an identified workspace. - Wildcard argument matching does not constrain paths, file types, symlink resolution, or data destinations. A compromised agent does not need unrestricted Bash to expose information if it can read arbitrary local files and make arbitrary outbound requests. Sensitive material could be encoded into a URL query, path, or request content sent to an attacker-controlled host. The b ...[truncated 1751 chars]

`, rather than resolving the latest release. 2. Pin the toolkit to an immutable registry version and document the expected artifact digest. 3. For manual installation, check out a specific full Git commit hash or signed release tag. 4. Publish SHA-256 or stronger integrity hashes and verify them before installation. 5. Sign releases and require signature verification against documented maintainer keys. 6. Avoid global npm installation where feasible. Use an isolated environment, container, or project-local dependency with a lockfile. 7. Review package lifecycle scripts before installation and disable scripts when they are unnecessary. 8. Verify package ownership, registry namespace, repository identity, and release provenance. 9. Apply the same controls to update instructions; do not automatically activate unreviewed updates. 10. Re-run security review whenever the pinned version, commit, or digest changes. ]]>

Agent Config Directory Access

High

• Category: Agent Snooping
• Confidence: 90% confidence

Finding

The glob targets **/.claude/settings.json, meaning this rule applies to agent configuration files that can control permissions such as Bash and WebFetch access. Because the same document also promotes broad tool grants and permissive allowlists, applying it to settings files increases the risk that agents will modify security-sensitive configuration and weaken their own guardrails.

Missing User Warnings

High

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 98% confidence

Finding

The arbitrary transaction endpoint allows sending custom calldata to any smart contract, which can approve token spenders, transfer assets, interact with malicious contracts, or irreversibly alter on-chain positions. Documenting this powerful capability without a prominent risk warning is dangerous because it materially lowers friction for high-impact wallet misuse in an agent context.

Content

Missing User Warnings

High

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 99% confidence

Finding

The statement that all actions are allowed by default if no policies are set establishes an insecure default for a wallet capable of transfers, swaps, and arbitrary contract calls. In a tool intended for autonomous agents, default-allow materially increases exposure to accidental or malicious spending before owners configure protections.

Content

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 98% confidence

Finding

This markdown file contains user-facing instructions exclusively in Chinese, and there is no indication that the skill is region-specific or that users may choose another language. That creates a natural-language policy concern because it effectively forces a specific language without user opt-in.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Session Persistence

Medium

• Category: Rogue Agent
• Confidence: 60% confidence

Finding

Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 94% confidence

Finding

Most of the user-facing descriptive content is presented in Chinese, and the document does not indicate that language selection is optional or that the toolkit is intended only for a Chinese-speaking audience. Per the policy, forcing a specific language without user opt-in can be a natural-language policy violation.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 89% confidence

Finding

This markdown file includes an example command to create a cryptocurrency wallet, which can affect user funds and generate sensitive credentials. The description provides no warning about securely storing keys, the sensitivity of wallet material, or the financial risk associated with wallet operations.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 93% confidence

Finding

The natural-language content from the main description onward is written in Chinese, and the file does not indicate that the skill supports multiple languages or that Chinese is a required locale. Under the stated policy, forcing a specific language without user opt-in is a natural-language policy concern.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 86% confidence

Finding

The browser automation section promotes scraping, form filling, and multi-step web actions without warning about privacy, terms-of-service restrictions, data handling, or the operational impact on third-party sites. In the context of an agent automation toolkit, this increases the chance that users deploy broad automation against real services without safeguards for consent, rate limits, or sensitive data exposure.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 89% confidence

Finding

The skill advertises wallet creation, spending limits, refunds, trading, and DeFi interactions without any explicit warning that blockchain transactions can be irreversible, financially risky, and subject to loss from configuration or prompt mistakes. In an agent toolkit, this omission is more dangerous because it normalizes autonomous financial actions and may cause users to delegate sensitive payment or trading behavior without understanding the consequences.

## 🆘 支持

Vague Triggers

Medium

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 90% confidence

Finding

The skill description is extremely broad ('Complete toolkit for building AI agents') and does not define clear functional boundaries, triggers, or limitations. In an agent skill ecosystem, vague scope can cause overbroad invocation, user confusion about capabilities, and increase the chance that powerful or risky sub-features are exposed without adequate scrutiny.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Rp1

Medium

• Category: MCP Rug Pull
• Confidence: 94% confidence

Finding

The documentation recommends npx playwright install-deps chromium, which invokes an unpinned package resolution path and can fetch whatever playwright version is current at execution time. In an agent tooling context, this weakens supply-chain integrity and reproducibility, and could expose users to malicious or compromised upstream package versions if npm resolution or the package supply chain is attacked.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Vague Triggers

Medium

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 92% confidence

Finding

The auto-trigger list contains very broad phrases such as "build agent," "create agent," and "workflow," which can match routine development conversations and cause this skill to activate unexpectedly. Unintended activation can inject guidance, tool expectations, or operational behaviors into unrelated sessions, increasing the chance of overreach or misuse in an agentic environment.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Session Persistence

Medium

• Category: Rogue Agent
• Confidence: 90% confidence

Finding

The README recommends adding an environment change to ~/.bashrc, making the setting persistent across future shells rather than limiting it to the current troubleshooting session. Persistent shell modification is riskier because it creates lasting behavioral changes that may affect unrelated workflows, consume excessive memory by default, or mask future debugging issues.

Content

Fix Memory Issues

bash

# Add to ~/.bashrc
export NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=16384"
source ~/.bashrc

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 95% confidence

Finding

The skill explicitly encourages sub-agents to "FIX issues found," which authorizes automatic modification of repository files, but it does not clearly disclose this behavior up front as part of the skill's safety/usage expectations. In a development environment, hidden write behavior can lead to unintended code or configuration changes, especially when users expect analysis or reporting rather than mutation.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 90% confidence

Finding

The documented workflow has agents reading, verifying, editing, and reporting, but the skill description and introduction do not clearly warn that invoking this pattern can modify files in the working directory. This creates a transparency and consent problem: users may trigger a workflow expecting advice, while the agent proceeds to change source files.
