Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed patent-landscape workflow that uses PatSnap services and local report generation for its stated purpose.

Before installing, confirm you are comfortable sending competitor, technology scope, search terms, and retrieved patent-analysis data to PatSnap MCP services, and choose report output paths intentionally. Treat the generated report as research support, not legal advice or FTO clearance.

Category
MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
83% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs use of networked MCP services and a report generator that writes output files, but the skill declares no permissions or trust boundary for those capabilities. This creates a transparency and governance gap: operators may approve or run the skill without understanding that it can exfiltrate user-supplied research inputs to external services and write artifacts locally.

Tp4

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The skill promises substantive patent-search, claim-review, and strategic-analysis capabilities, but the available behavior appears to be report rendering of supplied data rather than performing the claimed analysis. In a legal-adjacent IP workflow, this can mislead users into trusting unsupported conclusions, omit critical validation steps, and produce decision-grade outputs that appear evidence-backed when they are not.
