Full Analysis
  • [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill is designed to ingest and analyze content from arbitrary web URLs, creating an attack surface for indirect prompt injection.
  • Ingestion points: Untrusted data enters the agent context through WebFetch, the Tavily API, and agent-browser output as described in SKILL.md and rules/tool-selection.md.
  • Boundary markers: The instructions lack explicit boundary markers or "ignore embedded instructions" warnings when the agent is directed to process or summarize the retrieved content.
  • Capability inventory: The skill utilizes Bash (permitting curl, jq, and CLI tool execution) and Write (permitting snapshot and diff storage to the filesystem).
  • Sanitization: There is no evidence of sanitization, filtering, or validation of the external web content before it is processed by the agent.
  • [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill provides instructions for the agent to execute shell commands via the Bash tool to process data and perform network operations.
  • The skill uses curl to interact with the Tavily API and jq to parse JSON data as shown in references/tavily-api.md and rules/monitoring-change-detection.md.
  • It utilizes an agent-browser CLI tool to perform browser automation, including sensitive operations like session state management (agent-browser state save/load) in rules/browser-patterns.md.
  • [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill performs network requests to external services to retrieve information.
  • It makes multiple curl calls to api.tavily.com for search, extraction, and crawling. Tavily is a well-known service for AI research and data extraction, and these operations are core to the skill's purpose.
