gold_price_mcp
Verdict safe, but 2 findings (2 medium), mainly unauthorized tool use, data exfiltration. Most recent scan 2026-02-06.
This skill is a relatively straightforward MCP (Model Context Protocol) service that fetches Thai gold prices from an external API. The code quality is reasonable with proper async/await patterns and error handling. However, there are MEDIUM severity concerns around the external API dependency lacking validation and provenance documentation. The skill makes network calls to a third-party domain without any integrity verification, which could be exploited if the API is compromised. LOW severity issues include missing manifest metadata (license, compatibility, allowed-tools) and hardcoded Python version requirements. The skill does NOT contain prompt injection, data exfiltration to attacker-controlled servers, credential theft, or command injection vulnerabilities. The external API call is for legitimate data retrieval, not malicious exfiltration. Overall, this skill appears to be a legitimate utility with some security hygiene improvements needed around dependency management and metadata documentation.

Findings
MEDIUM Undeclared network usage Unauthorized Tool Usestatic
Skill code uses network libraries but doesn't declare network requirement
MEDIUM External API Dependency Without Validation or Provenance Data Exfiltrationllm
The skill makes HTTP requests to an external third-party API (https://api.chnwt.dev/thai-gold-api/latest) without any validation of response integrity, HTTPS certificate pinning, or documented provenance. While the API appears to be for legitimate gold price data, there is no verification mechanism to ensure the data hasn't been tampered with or that the API endpoint remains trustworthy. An attacker who compromises the API domain or performs a man-in-the-middle attack could inject malicious data into the agent's context.

What we checked
- Static analyzer. Pattern rules over SKILL.md and bundled files: known-bad commands, exfiltration URLs, secrets, obfuscation.
- Behavioral analyzer. Checks what the skill asks the agent to do against what its description claims it does.
- Llm analyzer. A language model reads the skill and reports intent-level issues the rules cannot express.
- Trigger analyzer. Looks for instructions that fire on conditions the user did not ask for.
- Meta analyzer. A second model pass that validates, deduplicates and re-scores the other analyzers' findings.
What we did not check
- Runtime behaviour. The skill was not executed; findings come from reading its files.
- Anything fetched at install or run time, including remote scripts, package dependencies, and URLs the skill tells the agent to open.
- Content the analyzers cannot read: images, binaries, and some non-English text.
- Known scanner bypass classes. See the methodology and limitations page.
