Full Analysis
- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill aggregates and processes real-time content from over 84 external news, listings, on-chain, and market sources. This data is untrusted and could contain malicious instructions designed to influence the AI agent's behavior, especially given the skill's focus on trading signals and impact scores.
- Ingestion points: External data enters the agent context through several tools, including
get_latest_news,search_news, andsubscribe_latest_news, which return fields such astitle,content, andsummary_enfrom third-party sources. - Boundary markers: There are no specific delimiters or protective instructions (e.g., 'ignore any instructions in the news text') mentioned in the skill's data processing workflow to separate untrusted content from the system prompt.
- Capability inventory: The agent is expected to interpret this data to provide summaries, 'ai_signal' (trading directions), and 'ai_score' (impact ratings), making it susceptible to content that attempts to manipulate these outputs.
- Sanitization: The documentation does not indicate that the incoming text is sanitized or filtered for prompt injection patterns before being presented to the model.
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill relies on external infrastructure and software dependencies to function.
- API Interaction: It makes network requests to
ai.6551.ioand establishes WebSocket connections towss://ai.6551.io/open/news_wssfor data retrieval. - Package Dependency: The installation instructions require the execution of a Python package named
opennews-mcpusing theuvtool. - Authentication: Users are directed to obtain an API token from
https://6551.io/mcpand provide it as an environment variable.
