Risk Level: SAFEINDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION
Full Analysis
- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill ingests untrusted data from multiple sources including user-provided customer exports (CSV/Excel), web search results, GitHub API data, and social media content (Reddit/LinkedIn). This creates a vulnerability surface for indirect prompt injection where malicious instructions embedded in external content could attempt to influence agent behavior.
- Ingestion points: Customer exports, web search, GitHub API, and forum threads are used to build buyer groups and prospect lists.
- Boundary markers: While the skill establishes a logic of 'customer data wins' in conflicts, it lacks explicit formatting delimiters to isolate untrusted content from system instructions.
- Capability inventory: The skill utilizes tools for file writing (
gooseworks:file_write), brand knowledge updates (gooseworks:brand_knowledge_save), and network-based data lookups (gooseworks:data_call_provider). - Sanitization: The skill includes robust guidelines in
references/quote-bank.mdto strip names, handles, and sensitive personal information (PII) from captured data before saving it to the agent's knowledge base. - [DATA_EXPOSURE_&_EXFILTRATION]: The skill intentionally processes sensitive customer data from exports. However, it provides clear rules to ensure PII is not stored in the long-term memory ('brain') and mandates the use of managed proxies and providers (e.g.,
scrapecreators) for external lookups, preventing direct credential exposure. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill performs complex tasks by calling platform-specific MCP tools and sub-agents. These operations are scoped to the intended functionality of researching and reporting on audience data.
