Confirmed finding summary

No confirmed security findings

The completed audit recorded no confirmed security findings. This is not proof that the Skill has no side effects.

Installation context

Historical evidence

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

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

AI review found the static critical and high findings to be false positives caused by markdown examples, public API URLs, and metabolomics notation. The skill is documentation-only and shows intended requests to the public NIH Metabolomics Workbench API; the residual risk is low and limited to user-initiated network access and one example file save.

Capability review items (1)
Low
references/api_reference.md:491-493
Documented File Save Example Requires User Control
The only filesystem finding is a Python documentation example that writes a downloaded structure image. This is not executed by the skill, but users should choose safe output paths when adapting the example.
The write target is a fixed example filename in a markdown code sample. It is low risk because no runtime component performs the write automatically.

Risk findings

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

No confirmed security findings were recorded for this completed audit.

Analysis metadata

Audit model: codex

Analysis state: Complete

Scope is limited to the recorded files, lines, methods, and evidence. No runtime or sandbox execution is claimed.

Static false positives ignored (3)

Public API Network Access Is Intended
Static network findings are true indicators of outbound API examples, but they target the public Metabolomics Workbench REST service. The reviewed files are markdown documentation, not executable code.
The URLs are visible examples for www.metabolomicsworkbench.org and no hidden endpoint or credential payload is present. Confidence is high because the files are documentation-only markdown.
Low

Markdown Code Fences Misidentified As Shell Execution
The external command findings correspond to markdown fenced examples and curl snippets. They do not execute when the skill is loaded.
The flagged backticks are markdown delimiters around examples, not Ruby or shell backtick execution. No script file or executable command runner is present.
Low

Chemistry Notation Misidentified As Sensitive Or Crypto Pattern
The Windows SAM and weak cryptography findings are false positives from scientific terms and mass spectrometry adduct notation. No Windows credential database, password hash, or cryptographic implementation appears in the reviewed context.
The cited lines describe MetStat URL format, ion adducts such as M+H and M-H, and output formats. There is no semantic evidence of credential access or weak cryptographic use.
