Risk Summary

Block in Production

Excessive Permissions + Dep Visibility risk is significant. Avoid using this in production agents.

Potential impact: The agent may gain overly broad access to files, network, databases, or execution capabilities.

Recommended action: This tool should stay disabled in production agents until the flagged risks are fixed and the scan is clean.

Security Findings (16)

  • HighAS-002

    ⚠️Excessive Permissions ×5

    tool declares network permission

    search_episodessearch_episodes_by_topicget_transcript

    tool declares exec permission

    search_episodessearch_episodes_by_topic

    Fix: Tool requests broad permissions (exec/fs/network). Validate input parameters using Enums where possible, and restrict file system operations to explicit allowed directories.

  • HighAS-003

    🔀Scope Mismatch ×2

    tool name "search_episodes" implies read-only operation but declares exec permission

    search_episodes

    tool name "search_episodes_by_topic" implies read-only operation but declares exec permission

    search_episodes_by_topic

    Fix: Ensure tool names, descriptions, and permission declarations are internally consistent. Use explicit naming conventions that fully reflect actual capabilities.

  • MediumAS-002

    ⚠️Excessive Permissions

    search_episodes_by_topic:tool declares db permission

    Fix: Tool requests broad permissions (exec/fs/network). Validate input parameters using Enums where possible, and restrict file system operations to explicit allowed directories.

  • LowAS-011

    ℹ️Missing Rate-Limit / Timeout ×3

    tool performs network or execution operations but declares no rate-limit, timeout, or retry configuration

    search_episodessearch_episodes_by_topicget_transcript

    Fix: Declare explicit rate-limit, timeout, and retry configuration for all network and execution tools. Implement exponential back-off and surface resource state to the calling agent.

  • InfoAS-014

    ℹ️Dependency Inventory Unavailable ×5

    Tool did not expose metadata.dependencies or repo_url, so supply-chain coverage is limited.

    search_episodesget_latest_episodessearch_episodes_by_topicget_transcriptgive_feedback

    Fix: Review and remediate the identified issue.
