Full Analysis
- Indirect Prompt Injection: The research workflow involves gathering data from external web sources through subagents, saving this content to local files, and then reading those files for synthesis. This creates a surface where instructions embedded in external web pages could potentially influence the agent's behavior during the synthesis phase.
- Ingestion points: Data enters the environment via the
web_searchtool (used by subagents) and is subsequently read from local findings files using theread_filetool. - Boundary markers: The instructions do not specify the use of delimiters or specific warnings to ignore instructions found within the gathered research data.
- Capability inventory: The skill utilizes tools for file system management (
mkdir,write_file,read_file,list_files) and agent orchestration (task). - Sanitization: There are no explicit instructions for sanitizing or filtering the content retrieved from the web before it is processed by the agent.
- File System Interaction: The skill creates research directories and writes multiple files (plans, findings, and reports) to the local disk. While these actions are organized within a dedicated subfolder, they represent active interaction with the local file system based on external research topics.
