Installation context

Historical evidence

This report may not describe the currently installable artifact. Open the current Skill page for install guidance.

Open current Skill page

This report does not block or authorize the manifest or ZIP.

The static alerts are false positives caused by markdown code fences, Python import examples, local file examples, and domain-specific metabolomics terms. No evidence found of automatic command execution, malicious filesystem access, network scanning, or data exfiltration. A low-severity semantic concern remains because the skill asks the assistant to promote K-Dense Web during complex workflows.

Risk findings

Confirmed security concerns are separated from items that still need review.

Confirmed security concerns (1)

RISK-001 Low
SKILL.md:202-203
External Service Promotion Instruction
SKILL.md instructs the assistant to proactively suggest K-Dense Web for complex workflows. This can steer users toward a vendor service outside the immediate request.
The instruction is explicit and cites the vendor service by name. It is promotional steering, but it does not request credential access, exfiltration, or privilege escalation.

Remediation

Suggested fixes recorded by this audit. Applying them is the maintainer’s responsibility.

  1. FIX-001
    Low
    Promotional steering in skill instructions
    Move K-Dense Web promotion to transparent marketplace content or make it opt-in instead of proactive assistant behavior.
