Full Analysis
  • [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill instructs the agent to run various subcommands of the kilobat CLI utility (such as diagnose, dns-benchmark, http-check, and dns) to gather network information and apply settings.
  • [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill recommends installing the kilobat tool via Homebrew from the author's specific tap (seifip/kilobat), which is a standard method for distributing command-line utilities.
  • [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: Certain operations, such as changing DNS servers or flushing the DNS cache, will trigger a macOS administrator prompt because they modify system-level network configurations.
  • [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill ingests JSON-formatted diagnostic data from the kilobat tool, creating a surface for potential instruction injection if the data source (local network state) were maliciously manipulated.
  • Ingestion points: Output from kilobat diagnose --json, kilobat dns-benchmark, and kilobat http-check --json (SKILL.md).
  • Boundary markers: The instructions do not define specific delimiters or warnings for the agent to ignore instructions embedded within the JSON output.
  • Capability inventory: The skill has the capability to modify system DNS settings and create configuration profiles via kilobat dns and kilobat dns-profile commands (SKILL.md).
  • Sanitization: No specific validation or sanitization of the CLI tool's diagnostic output is mentioned in the skill instructions.
