🟢 Trusted
No high-risk patterns surfaced by the deep scan — automated capability review, not behavioral proof.

Reads local files AND makes external network calls

Research skill orchestrating MCP-configured search tools to produce cited reports; all search calls go through user-configured MCP endpoints.

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.

Capability combination critical

Reads local files AND makes external network calls — the capabilities for data exfiltration co-occur (data-flow not verified)

Permission integrity

Makes network requests but does not declare curl/wget in required binaries

network_out

Performs file operations but does not declare file-accessing binaries

file_read

Findings (2)

Pattern match critical

Pipe-to-python pattern — remote code execution risk

SKILL.md · code · curl -sL "<url>" | python

Pattern match critical

Pipe to python — executes piped content as Python code

SKILL.md · code · | python3

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

No declared permissions — minimal attack surface.
