Full Analysis
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: Installs the
things3-clitool from a third-party GitHub repository (github.com/ossianhempel/things3-cli) via thego installcommand defined in the skill's metadata. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: Executes the
thingscommand-line utility to perform queries against the local database and to trigger URL-scheme updates to the Things 3 application. - [CREDENTIALS_UNSAFE]: Manages a
THINGS_AUTH_TOKENfor write operations. While the instructions suggest environment variable storage, the agent still processes this sensitive secret for task updates. - [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: Accesses the private Things 3 database (
ThingsData-*), which contains sensitive personal tasks and project metadata. The skill instructions require the user to grant "Full Disk Access" to facilitate these reads. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill is vulnerable to indirect prompt injection as it reads and searches task content that could contain malicious instructions.
- Ingestion points: Processes data from the local database via
things inbox,things today, andthings searchcommands. - Boundary markers: No explicit markers are used to separate untrusted task content from the agent's internal instructions.
- Capability inventory: The agent can modify existing tasks and create new ones using the
things updateandthings addcommands. - Sanitization: No validation or sanitization of task content is performed before it is ingested into the context.
