Risk Level: SAFE
Full Analysis
- [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill instructions are highly prescriptive regarding academic methodology, APA citations, and narrative formatting. No attempts to bypass safety filters, override system instructions, or extract system prompts were found.
- [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The skill uses
web_searchandweb_fetchto gather information from the public internet. It does not attempt to access sensitive local files (e.g., SSH keys, AWS credentials) or exfiltrate private user data to unauthorized domains. - [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill relies on native platform tools (
web_search,web_fetch,sessions_spawn) for its operations. There are no instances of downloading or executing untrusted scripts, shell commands, or external binaries. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill has an inherent attack surface for indirect prompt injection because it ingests untrusted data from the web via
web_fetch(Phase 3). - Ingestion points: Web content retrieved via
web_fetchas defined inSKILL.mdandreference/protocol.md. - Boundary markers: Not explicitly defined for the fetched content in the instructions.
- Capability inventory:
web_search,web_fetch, andsessions_spawnfor parallelizing research tasks. - Sanitization: The skill emphasizes academic synthesis and alignment with existing evidence, which serves as a natural reasoning check, but does not specify technical sanitization. Given the research-focused nature and the requirement for user checkpoints in Phase 1, 2, and 4, the risk is managed.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: No dangerous shell command execution patterns or privilege escalation attempts were identified. Usage of sub-sessions is restricted to the research methodology defined in the skill documentation.
