 description: >
   Detects MCP skills that expose hidden or undocumented capabilities beyond their
   declared tool schema. A skill may advertise a simple interface but accept hidden
   parameters like "debug_mode", "admin_override", or "raw_exec" that unlock dangerous
   functionality. This is a common pattern in trojaned MCP packages.

+status: experimental
+description: >
+  Detects prompt injection patterns embedded in SKILL.md files. 91% of confirmed
+  malicious skills combine prompt injection with malware delivery (Snyk ToxicSkills,
+  Feb 2026). Patterns include: system message impersonation, DAN-style jailbreaks,
+  instruction override, and safety disablement. The convergence attack flow uses
+  prompt injection first to disable safety warnings, then delivers malicious payloads.
+  Real campaign: ClawHavoc (1,184 skills) used injection to bypass agent safety before
+  credential exfiltration.
