Security audit

Stock Analysis: Sentiment, Insiders, 13F, Options

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a read-only SentiSense stock-data skill bundle that uses a disclosed API key and optional local helper scripts, with no evidence of hidden, destructive, or credential-stealing behavior.

Install only if you are comfortable giving this bundle a SentiSense API key and sending market-data queries to app.sentisense.ai. Prefer the REST paths unless you explicitly want the CLI, because the CLI path downloads and runs an npm package. Treat outputs as informational financial data, not trading instructions.

Scope Creep

Low
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
70% confidence
Finding

Skill's behavior or capabilities extend beyond its stated purpose. Scope creep allows an agent to perform actions unrelated to its documented functionality, increasing the attack surface.

the response supplies one, separate from the host fetch time. Also retain preview and error state.
Coalesce identical in-flight requests so a tool and a widget do not pay for the same snapshot twice.
Snapshot inputs include bound selector values, including fixed query inputs such as the chart's
`timeframe: "1M"`. They are not limited to arguments typed by the user; the binding validator needs
the actual ticker and period that produced the data.

Before binding a default relative window, use [request-cache.mjs](runtime/request-cache.mjs).

Unbounded Resource Access

Medium
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
75% confidence
Finding

Skill allows unbounded resource consumption (API calls, storage, compute). Without rate limits or quotas, a compromised or misbehaving agent can cause denial-of-service or cost overruns.

Hidden Instructions

**Four stock fields filter and sort but are not returned on rows:** `SENTI_SCORE_TREND_7D`, `SENTI_SCORE_TREND_30D`, `SENTI_SCORE_RISING_STREAK_30D` and `PRICE_TREND_30D`. The server derives them at query time from the row's own series (`sentisenseScoreBars7D`, `sentisenseScoreBars30D`, `priceSparkline30D`), so the keys are absent, not null. A row that matched passed the threshold you set: report that ("Score trend above 0 over 7 days") and show the series, rather than printing a trend value the response does not carry.

<!-- screener-appendix:start -->
## Appendix: every field and every curated screen (snapshot)

Generated from the same catalog the API serves, refreshed with every release of this skill. The live responses from `GET /api/v1/screener/fields` and `GET /api/v1/screener/screens` are authoritative and can be ahead of this table; use this appendix to plan, and the live catalog to execute. Field names are case-sensitive and go into plans verbatim. Numeric fields take GTE/GT/LTE/LT and are sortable; nulls never match a filter and always sort last.

- When implied sits above realized, the honest phrasing is that options are pricing more movement than the stock has recently delivered. That is an observation about pricing, not a trade.
- Never turn the band edges into targets, and never attach a probability more precise than the model supports.
- On a preview response, say the 60 and 90 day bands are missing because the free monthly dossier allowance is spent, rather than presenting a one-band chart as the whole picture.
- When the next report is unknown because the free calendar covers one week, say exactly that. Never tell the user nothing is scheduled, and say a report inside the window cannot be ruled out.
