Undeclared Tool Scope

The skill describes and demonstrates a local script that reads and writes state (
move_state.json) but does not declare any explicit tool scope such as file permissions or allowed tools. That mismatch weakens least-privilege guarantees: an agent or runtime may grant broader filesystem capabilities than users expect, increasing the chance of unintended file access or modification. In this context the script is framed as local-only and benign, which lowers the likelihood of abuse, but the absence of explicit scope is still a real security control gap.- Content
