Full Analysis
- [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The
agent.pyscript serves as a processing point for untrusted data by accepting JWT tokens via the--tokenargument and arbitrary JSON via the--payloadargument. An attacker providing a maliciously crafted JWT could attempt an indirect prompt injection if an AI agent automatically processes the script's analysis output as instructions. - Ingestion points:
--tokenand--payloadcommand-line arguments inscripts/agent.py. - Boundary markers: Absent; the script decodes and prints payload content directly.
- Capability inventory: The script performs cryptographic signatures and local file I/O (reading public keys and writing JSON reports).
- Sanitization: The script uses standard
json.loads()andbase64decoding which prevents direct execution but does not filter the content for natural language instructions. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The documentation and prerequisites section list several external Python libraries (
PyJWT,cryptography,requests) and security tools (jwt_tool) necessary for the skill's operation. These are standard industry tools but require installation from external repositories.
