Full Analysis
  • [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill requires the installation of the scientific-consensus-pp-cli binary to function.
  • Evidence: The documentation instructs the agent to run npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install scientific-consensus --cli-only or go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/other/scientific-consensus/cmd/scientific-consensus-pp-cli@latest to set up the necessary tools.
  • [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The tool includes a delivery mechanism that allows command output to be sent to arbitrary external URLs.
  • Evidence: The --deliver webhook:<url> feature POSTs the output body to a user-defined URL, which represents a potential data egress point if not monitored.
  • Additional Evidence: The feedback command can be configured to automatically POST local feedback entries to a remote endpoint via the SCIENTIFIC_CONSENSUS_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT environment variable.
  • [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes content from various external scholarly databases, which may include untrusted text that could influence agent behavior.
  • Ingestion points: Data is ingested from PubMed, OpenAlex, Crossref, and Europe PMC (SKILL.md).
  • Capability inventory: The skill has the ability to execute shell commands (in agent mode), write to the local file system (Excel reports and local sinks), and perform network POST requests (webhooks).
  • Boundary markers: None identified in the instructions to prevent the agent from obeying instructions embedded in the retrieved scientific abstracts or metadata.
  • Sanitization: No explicit sanitization or filtering of the external API content is mentioned.
