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 high

Accesses credentials AND makes external network calls — potential credential theft

LLM02 · ASI03

Permission integrity

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

network_out

Code accesses API keys/tokens but declares no environment variables

credential_access

Installs packages at runtime — transitive dependencies are not auditable
