Security audit

SkillMarket

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a disclosed marketplace helper that fetches skill listings and install instructions from Zerone, with installation gated on user approval.

Install only if you want your agent to contact Zerone's marketplace and potentially add skills under `.agent/skills/`. Review any fetched install commands and the target skill before approving them, because third-party marketplace content can change and installed skills persist.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs the agent to access a remote marketplace API and fetch installation instructions, but it does not declare corresponding permissions. Undeclared network capability undermines transparency and permission gating, making it easier for a user or runtime to invoke external communications without clear review.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
81% confidence
Finding
The trigger includes broad phrases like 'add a skill', 'install a skill', and 'browse skills', plus mentions of any non-installed skill name. This can cause unintended activation in ordinary conversation, leading the agent into a workflow that performs network lookups and prepares installation steps from an external source.
