Detects hardcoded API keys, tokens, or passwords in MCP server environment configuration
"env"
:
{ + "TAVILY_API_KEY"
:
"tvly-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 pip install of arbitrary packages that modify the host environment
pip
install
ta Pin all pip packages to exact versions (e.g., pip install package==1.2.3). Use a requirements.txt or pyproject.toml with pinned versions and hash verification.
Likely FP if the match is in documentation showing how to install the skill's own PyPI package.
