Risk Level: SAFEINDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION
Full Analysis
- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill describes a development framework for creating canvases that ingest data from external providers (e.g., GitHub, MCP servers) and PostHog's own data warehouse.
- Ingestion points: Data is pulled into the canvas context via
ph.connectors.call,ph.loadInsight, andph.querymethods. - Boundary markers: The skill recommends progressive loading with state-specific skeletons and requires explicit user gestures (clicks) for triggering any side-effect actions (
ph.actions). - Capability inventory: Canvases can perform authenticated writes to PostHog (
ph.actions), store persistent state (ph.state), and capture analytics (ph.capture). - Sanitization: The instructions emphasize using "Proven Queries" (saved insights) and typed query nodes rather than raw HogQL to ensure data integrity and verifiability, which mitigates risks associated with processing untrusted data.
- [SAFE]: The skill utilizes a platform-provided SDK (
@posthog/canvas-sdk) that operates within a host-managed sandbox. Network access and tool execution are strictly limited by acapabilitiesconfiguration that prevents unauthorized resource access. - [SAFE]: The documentation includes explicit security best practices, such as warning against storing PII or secrets in team-visible state (
ph.state) and restricting external navigation to PostHog domains viaph.openExternal.
