Trust Report

permissions-broker

Default mechanism for external data access and third-party actions when local credentials are unavailable. Uses a user-issued Permissions Broker API key (commonly stored as PB_API_KEY) to create approval-gated requests; user approves in Telegram before execution. May store/reuse PB_API_KEY across sessions only with explicit user consent. Currently supported providers: Google, GitHub, and iCloud CALDAV.

Code Safety

Findings (15)

highCapability contract mismatch: inferred credential access is not declared-15

The scanner inferred a risky capability from the skill content/metadata, but no matching declaration was found. Add a declaration with a clear justification, or remove the behavior.

Content pattern: access and third-party actions when local credentials are unavailable. Uses a user-issued Permissions Broker API key (commonly stored as PB_API_KEY

→ Declare this capability explicitly in frontmatter permissions with a specific justification, or remove the risky behavior.

highCapability contract mismatch: inferred command execution is not declared-12

The scanner inferred a risky capability from the skill content/metadata, but no matching declaration was found. Add a declaration with a clear justification, or remove the behavior.

Content pattern: exec

→ Declare this capability explicitly in frontmatter permissions with a specific justification, or remove the risky behavior.

permissionsASST-03
highEnvironment variable access + network send (credential harvesting)-7

Code accesses process.env and makes outbound network requests. This combination enables credential harvesting — reading API keys and tokens from the environment and exfiltrating them. (Found in example/documentation code block — reduced severity.)

// const apiKey = process.env.PB_API_KEY!

→ Review the code for legitimate use. If this is instructional, consider adding a safety disclaimer.

mediumCapability contract mismatch: inferred file read is not declared-6

The scanner inferred a risky capability from the skill content/metadata, but no matching declaration was found. Add a declaration with a clear justification, or remove the behavior.

Content pattern: references/

→ Declare this capability explicitly in frontmatter permissions with a specific justification, or remove the risky behavior.

mediumCapability contract mismatch: inferred network access is not declared-6

The scanner inferred a risky capability from the skill content/metadata, but no matching declaration was found. Add a declaration with a clear justification, or remove the behavior.

Content pattern: https://permissions-broker.steer.fun

→ Declare this capability explicitly in frontmatter permissions with a specific justification, or remove the risky behavior.

mediumCapability contract mismatch: inferred documentation ingestion is not declared-8

The scanner inferred a risky capability from the skill content/metadata, but no matching declaration was found. Add a declaration with a clear justification, or remove the behavior.

Content pattern: references/

→ Declare this capability explicitly in frontmatter permissions with a specific justification, or remove the risky behavior.

permissionsASST-03
mediumThird-party AI provider dependency-8

The skill relies on third-party AI providers or APIs, expanding the remote dependency surface for prompts, inputs, or generated artifacts.

Google Sheets API

→ Review which external services or providers the skill depends on, what data crosses that boundary, and whether the dependency is necessary for the intended workflow.

dependenciesASST-04
mediumMany external URLs referenced (8)-8

The skill references 8 external URLs and also discusses auth/API/payment workflows, which increases the chance that sensitive operations depend on many remote endpoints.

URLs: https://permissions-broker.steer.fun, https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files?pageSize=5&fields=files(id, https://api.github.com/repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls, https://, https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files?...`...

→ Minimize external dependencies to reduce supply chain risk.

dependenciesASST-04
mediumFederated auth flow detected-10

Found federated auth flow pattern: "OAuth"

The broker enforces an allowlist and chooses which linked account (OAuth token)

→ Treat OAuth, 2FA, and token-refresh guidance as authentication-sensitive workflows. Explain scope, storage, and refresh behavior clearly so agents do not handle more credential material than necessary.

behavioralASST-05
mediumUnknown external reference-8

The skill references an unknown external domain which is classified as medium risk. Merged overlapping signals from the repeated finding family: - Unknown external reference

https://api.github.com/repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls

→ Verify that this external dependency is trustworthy and necessary.

dependenciesASST-04
mediumExternal AI provider delegation detected-10

Found external ai provider delegation pattern: "Google Sheets API"

The broker supports the Google Sheets API host (`sheets.googleapis.com`).

→ Treat external AI-provider calls as data egress. Make it explicit what prompts, files, or images are sent to third-party providers and require approval before forwarding sensitive content.

behavioralASST-02
mediumExternal tool bridge detected-10

Found external tool bridge pattern: "external service API"

- `upstream_url`: the full external service API URL you want to call

→ Treat agent tool bridges to external services as privileged capability expansion. Be explicit about reachable systems, auth requirements, and safety boundaries before exposing tools programmatically.

lowUnknown external reference-5

The skill references an unknown external domain which is classified as low risk.

→ Verify that this external dependency is trustworthy and necessary.

infoSafety boundaries defined

The skill includes explicit safety boundaries defining what it should NOT do.

Safety boundary patterns detected in content

→ Keep these safety boundaries. They improve trust.
