These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Privilege Escalation · line 14
    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

safe-email-operations scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 45 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Safe Email Operations

Use this skill for email operations through the bundled MCP server, bounded diagnostics, account setup requests, credential rotation requests, and safe MCP client guidance.

Non-secret boundary

This plugin bundles a local stdio MCP server for mail operations plus safe setup guidance. It is not a credential channel, management API, or authorization boundary. The MCP server exposes no account or credential management.

Never ask for, receive, repeat, relay, transform, redact, retain, or validate a password, app password, access token, private key, recovery code, or reusable secret locator. Never put one in chat, an MCP call, shell arguments, environment variables, generated files, agent memory, task state, logs, clipboard helpers, or MCP configuration. Host approval and MCP elicitation do not make secret-bearing tool calls safe.

Do not attempt account management through MCP; edit TOML or SQLite directly; invoke keyring or SecretStore; install or upgrade software outside the reviewed plugin lifecycle; modify shell startup or MCP client configuration without a visible diff; download and execute helper code; start a daemon, tunnel, remote service, or additional MCP server; or add scripts, hooks, and automatic startup behavior.

The bundled declaration runs uvx --from mcp-email-server@latest mcp-email-server-plugin. The plugin-only entry point is absent from legacy releases, so they fail closed instead of exposing their older MCP catalog. Plugin and application releases are independent. Installing and enabling the reviewed plugin allows the host to resolve the current published application and start it locally; disclose that behavior before installation. Do not silently install the plugin, replace @latest with an unreviewed source or prerelease, or claim that the plugin manifest version identifies the running application.

Do not launch uvx mcp-email-server@latest ui for the user. Its one-time bootstrap URL must remain between the local process and the user's browser. Never copy, summarize, or request that URL or its fragment in chat.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
