Caveat verdict
safe-encryption
safe-encryption-skill
Accesses system credential store AND makes external network calls
Skill downloads the SAFE CLI binary from thesafe.dev for local encryption operations; all crypto operations are local with keys stored in ~/.safe/, and the download pattern (curl to specific binary, not piped to shell) is standard for CLI tool installation.
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.

Instruction-prose smuggling shape detected: collects a sensitive target ("Password") and emits it outward ("Paste"). Phrased as prose with no trigger tokens — a semantic prompt-injection / data-exfil pattern the syntactic scanners can't see. Final tier capped at Caution; review the instructions before installing.

Why the tier is capped
Execution sink present in raw bytes (Hard Floor: class B). 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.
