Caveat verdict
Briefing Room
briefing-room
Reads local files AND makes external network calls
Daily news briefing generator that uses free public APIs (Open-Meteo, Coinbase, Google Trends RSS), local TTS, and writes output to local files in ~/Documents — all capabilities are transparent and consistent with the stated news-briefing purpose.
Automated static analysis — not a human review. Caveat flags capabilities, not confirmed intent, and can produce false positives. Disagree with this verdict? Use Dispute below.
What it does
These are capability combinations: each listed behavior occurs in the skill, but Caveat detects co-occurrence — it does not verify that one flows into another. Read the code to confirm a live chain.
Reads local files AND makes external network calls — the capabilities for data exfiltration co-occur (data-flow not verified)

Why the tier is capped
Execution sink present in raw bytes (Hard Floor: class C). Final tier capped at Caution — cannot be lifted by any downgrade, example-payload opt-in, or allowlist.
Permissions & capabilities
Requires 1 system binary. (1 elevated: curl).
