Layer Breakdown
Behavioral Risk Signals
Security Findings2
| Severity | Finding | Layer | Location | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MEDIUM | Reliance on third-party Homebrew tap for installation The skill's installation method specifies a third-party Homebrew tap (`steipete/tap/goplaces`). Relying on external, non-official taps introduces a supply chain risk. A compromise of the tap maintainer's account or the upstream `goplaces` project could lead to the distribution of malicious software through this installation channel. Consider using official package repositories, vendoring the dependency, or implementing stricter integrity checks for third-party dependencies. Evaluate the trustworthiness and security practices of the `steipete/tap` maintainer. | Static | SKILL.md | |
| INFO | Skill requires sensitive API key The skill explicitly requires the `GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY` environment variable to function. This indicates that the skill will handle a sensitive credential. Secure management and transmission of this key by the LLM's execution environment are critical to prevent unauthorized access to the Google Places API. Ensure the LLM environment securely stores and passes API keys, using mechanisms like secret management services or environment variable isolation. Avoid hardcoding credentials within the skill's logic or documentation. | Static | SKILL.md |
