- Gen Agent Trust Hubpass
The skill acts as an interface for the prompts.chat MCP server, allowing searching and installation of community-driven AI skills. While it retrieves content from an external service, it uses platform-specific tools for its core functionality. The primary risk is the ingestion of untrusted instructional content from a remote source, which identifies an attack surface for indirect prompt injection.
