Security Scan

The skill is an instruction-only browser automation for composing/sending email and its requests and instructions align with that purpose, but it requires full access to your browser email session so use caution with sensitive accounts.

Purpose & Capability

Name and description match the SKILL.md: the skill uses browser automation to draft, reply, and send emails for Gmail, Outlook, QQ Mail, 163/126. It requests no unrelated binaries, env vars, or installs; the resources it needs (a browser session) are consistent with its stated purpose.

Instruction Scope

The instructions explicitly perform actions in the user's browser session: opening provider URLs, inspecting page DOM, filling recipient/subject/body fields, and clicking send. This is expected for an email-sending skill, but it does grant the skill the ability to read mailbox content and send messages on the user's behalf. The SKILL.md includes a privacy warning, which is appropriate. There are no instructions to exfiltrate data to external endpoints or to access other system files.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files (instruction-only). This minimizes disk footprint and there are no remote downloads or package installs to review.

Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables, no primary credential, and no config paths. That is proportionate: it relies on an existing browser session rather than asking for separate credentials. No unexplained secrets are requested.

Persistence & Privilege

always:false and user-invocable:true (default). The skill can be invoked autonomously by the agent (platform default), which in combination with browser access would allow autonomous sends if the agent chooses to run it — this is not abnormal, but it increases the potential impact if the skill is invoked without explicit user confirmation.

Assessment

This skill appears to do what it says: use browser automation to compose and send emails. Key things to consider before installing: - It will use your logged-in browser session and can read and send emails on your behalf. Only enable it for accounts you trust. - Because it acts inside your browser, it can access email content (including sensitive messages). Avoid giving it access to high-value or corporate accounts unless you trust the skill's provenance. - The package is instruction-only and has no install steps, but the source/homepage is unknown — prefer skills with a clear author or repository. - When first using it, test by sending drafts to yourself or a throwaway account and review generated text before sending. - If you want stricter control, ensure the agent prompts you to confirm any send action, and consider restricting autonomous invocation if your agent/platform allows that setting.
