Findings

  • Published by the vendor Trust offset
    Contribution to score: -40
  • 3 high-risk capabilities: database:write, filesystem:write, credentials:access Critical
    Contribution to score: +30
  • Credential theft risk (high) High
    Evidence
    Filesystem write combined with credentials access can plant persistent credential stealers.
    Contribution to score: +15
  • Database exfiltration risk (high) High
    Evidence
    Database read combined with outbound network can exfiltrate production data.
    Contribution to score: +15

Capabilities

Every capability the entry declares, with the security implication of each.

  • database:read Database read
    Reads from connected databases. Useful for query and analytics agents; risky when combined with outbound network.
  • database:write Database write
    Writes to connected databases. High-impact; combined with outbound network is treated as exfiltration-class.
  • filesystem:read Filesystem read
    Can read files on the host system. Used for context, indexing, or analysis.
  • filesystem:write Filesystem write
    Can create, edit, or delete files on the host system. High-impact capability — anything from helpful edits to planting persistence.
  • network:outbound Outbound network
    Can make outbound network requests. Required for hosted model providers and remote APIs; also the path for data exfiltration if combined with read access.
  • credentials:access Credentials access
    Reads provider API keys, OAuth tokens, or other secrets from the host keychain or environment.

Dangerous combinations matched
