Full Analysis
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill exposes capabilities to execute arbitrary shell commands and interact with terminal processes through functions like
start_processandinteract_with_process. These tools allow the agent to run scripts and system commands directly in environments such as PowerShell. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill creates an attack surface for indirect prompt injection by processing untrusted data.
- Ingestion points: Untrusted data enters the context via
read_file(reading workspace files),read_process_output(reading terminal output), andlist_directory(reading file metadata). - Boundary markers: The instructions do not define delimiters or warnings to ignore instructions embedded in the processed data.
- Capability inventory: The skill possesses significant capabilities including file writing (
write_file), directory creation (create_directory), and arbitrary process execution (start_process). - Sanitization: There is no evidence of sanitization or filtering of external content before it is processed by the agent.
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill references an external project repository on GitHub (
wonderwhy-er/DesktopCommanderMCP) for tool documentation and implementation details.
