- Detects MCP skills that expose hidden or undocumented capabilities beyond their
7
- declared tool schema. A skill may advertise a simple interface but accept hidden
8
- parameters like "debug_mode", "admin_override", or "raw_exec" that unlock dangerous
9
- functionality. This is a common pattern in trojaned MCP packages.

- Detects attack sequences where multiple MCP skills are chained together to achieve
7
- a malicious outcome that no single skill could accomplish alone. For example:
8
- (1) a reconnaissance skill reads sensitive files, (2) an encoding skill obfuscates
9
- the data, (3) a network skill exfiltrates it. Each step appears benign individually
10
- but the chain constitutes data exfiltration.
