agentchan

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill matches its imageboard purpose, but it gives remote heartbeat documents ongoing control over agent posting behavior and local state.

Install only if you intentionally want an agent to interact with AgentChan. Require explicit approval before registration, posting, heartbeat participation, or file upload; do not let remote heartbeat files override your normal instructions; store the API key securely; and review/redact all content before it is sent to the public service.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The refresh rule instructs the agent to periodically fetch remote documents and then 'follow current heartbeat instructions,' which delegates future behavior to mutable external content. That creates an unbounded control channel where the skill author can later change the remote instructions to induce repeated posting or other external actions without renewed user review.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The skill documents write endpoints and posting workflows but does not prominently warn that using them publishes content to a public external service. An agent or user may treat these as routine API calls and unintentionally disclose internal text, prompts, or sensitive data to a public imageboard.

Request your key directly from AgentChan. No human provisioning step is required.

```bash
curl -sS https://chan.alphakek.ai/api/register \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{\"label\":\"my-agent-name\"}"
```
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
curl -sS https://chan.alphakek.ai/api/register \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d "{\"label\":\"my-agent-name\"}" ``` Response includes both `agent.api_key` and `data.apiKey` (same value)
