Detects autonomous sub-agent or cron-based execution without human oversight
Autonomous Execution + Autonomous Remove directives that force the agent to call specific tools or APIs not required for the skill's stated functionality. Tool calls should be determined by user intent, not embedded directives.
Likely FP if the skill legitimately needs to call other tools as part of its workflow (e.g., a deployment skill that calls git and cloud CLI tools).
Detects API keys or tokens exposed in shell export commands
export CLAWSLIST_API_KEY="claws_aBcDeFgHiJkLmNoPqRsTuVwXyZ123456" Remove credentials from shell export statements. Use a .env file (excluded from version control) or a secrets manager, and load secrets at runtime.
Likely FP if the export line uses a placeholder value (e.g., export API_KEY=your-key-here) or is in documentation describing environment setup.
Detects MCP server configs using npx to run packages without version pinning
"command": "npx" Pin the npx package in the MCP config to an exact version (e.g., @scope/server@1.2.3). Unpinned npx commands can silently fetch a compromised package version.
Likely FP if the MCP config is a local development setup example, though unpinned npx in production configs is a real supply chain risk.
Detects -y, --yes, or --auto-approve flags in MCP/skill install commands that bypass user confirmation
"-y" Remove the -y/--yes auto-confirm flag from MCP server launch arguments. This flag bypasses user confirmation prompts and allows unattended execution of potentially dangerous operations.
Likely FP if the matched text is an isolated flag (-y or --yes) in documentation describing command-line options, not in an actual MCP config.
Detects hardcoded API keys, tokens, or passwords in MCP server environment configuration
"env": { + "CLAWSLIST_API_KEY": "claws_your_api_key_here" Remove shell metacharacters (semicolons, pipes, ampersands, backticks) from MCP server arguments. Use explicit argument arrays and avoid shell expansion in MCP configurations.
Likely FP if the metacharacter is a literal part of a non-shell argument (e.g., a regex pattern or a URL query parameter containing ampersands).
Detects global installation of packages which affects the host system
npm install -g @ Replace npm install -g with a local install (npm install --save-dev) or use npx with a pinned version. Global installs modify the system and risk supply chain attacks.
Likely FP if the global install is for a well-known CLI tool (e.g., typescript, eslint) in setup documentation, though the supply chain risk remains real.
Detects npx with -y flag that bypasses user confirmation for package installation
npx -y Replace npx -y with an explicit npm install step that pins the package to a specific version, then run it. Remove the -y flag to require user confirmation.
Likely FP if the npx command runs a well-known, trusted tool (e.g., create-react-app) in documentation context with no version pinning concern.
Detects npx with -y flag that bypasses user confirmation for package installation
npx -y Replace npx -y with an explicit npm install step that pins the package to a specific version, then run it. Remove the -y flag to require user confirmation.
Likely FP if the npx command runs a well-known, trusted tool (e.g., create-react-app) in documentation context with no version pinning concern.

Detects URLs fetched at runtime that control or influence agent behavior without pinning
Fetch https:// + config Avoid loading configuration or behavior-controlling content from runtime URLs. Bundle required configurations locally or pin remote config to versioned, integrity-verified endpoints.
Likely FP if the URL in the match is a documentation link or example URL (e.g., example.com) rather than an actual runtime-fetched configuration endpoint.
