Is this agent skill safe to install?

  • Gen Agent Trust Hubwarn

    This skill interacts with Apple Mail using AppleScript but contains significant security flaws. It is vulnerable to AppleScript injection because parameters like account and mailbox names are inserted into scripts without sanitization. Furthermore, it possesses a high-risk surface for Indirect Prompt Injection, as it can read raw email content and has the capability to send or delete messages.

Parsing Output

When receiving email records, parse them like this:

  1. Split by ||| to get individual records
  2. Split each record by <<>> to get fields
  3. Fields are: id, subject, sender, to, cc, bcc, dateSent, isRead, content

Example parsing in bash:

IFS='|||' read -ra emails <<< "$output"
for email in "${emails[@]}"; do
    IFS='<<>>' read -ra fields <<< "$email"
    id="${fields[0]}"
    subject="${fields[1]}"
    sender="${fields[2]}"
    # ... etc
done

Notes

  • Scripts require macOS with Apple Mail configured
  • Apple Mail must have at least one account set up
  • First run may trigger macOS permission prompts for automation
  • Empty optional arguments should be passed as empty strings ""
  • For scripts that need arrays (multiple recipients), pass comma-separated values
