Full Analysis
- [Indirect Prompt Injection] (LOW): The skill retrieves and processes data from external USPTO APIs (patent abstracts, application status descriptions, etc.), which could theoretically contain malicious instructions designed to influence the agent.
- Ingestion points:
scripts/patent_search.py(retrieves patent abstracts and titles),scripts/trademark_client.py(retrieves goods/services descriptions), andscripts/peds_client.py(retrieves transaction descriptions). - Boundary markers: Absent. The scripts return data as raw strings or JSON without providing clear delimiters or instructions to the agent to ignore embedded commands.
- Capability inventory: The skill performs network operations via the
requestslibrary to legitimate USPTO and PatentsView endpoints. No local file-writing or system command execution capabilities were identified. - Sanitization: Absent. The skill performs standard JSON parsing but does not implement content filtering or sanitization specifically targeting LLM injection patterns.
- [Unverifiable Dependencies] (LOW): The scripts and documentation recommend installing external Python packages including
requestsanduspto-opendata-python. While these are standard and well-known libraries for their respective tasks, they are third-party dependencies.
