Protein-Ligand Docking

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a disclosed scientific docking workflow that runs local analysis tools and writes result files, with no evidence of hidden or destructive behavior.

Install only if you are comfortable running local scientific tools such as OpenBabel and AutoDock Vina. Use trusted executable paths, keep the work in a dedicated project directory, review generated reports before relying on them, and avoid sending confidential protein, ligand, or project data to external services such as UniProt, RCSB, or Google Colab unless that sharing is acceptable.

Finding
The skill directs the agent to save files and run local scripts, and explicitly references shell-capable tooling such as AutoDock Vina, but it declares no permissions. That mismatch is a real security issue because it obscures the skill's operational capabilities, prevents proper consent and policy enforcement, and can enable unexpected filesystem or command execution in environments that rely on declared permissions for isolation.
