Severity: HighStatus: OpenSQ-TOOL-EXFIL-DIRECTIVE

Asks the AI model to pass conversation data or secrets

Model-facing text instructs the AI model to place conversation content, prompts, tool history or secrets into tool arguments or external destinations.

First seen · Last seen

Suggested fix: Do not ask the model to include conversation, prompt or credential content in arguments.

Severity: Info1 finding

Severity: InfoStatus: OpenSQ-TOOL-EXFIL-SHAPED-PARAM

What this scan does not cover

  • Squatch never calls a server's tools, so it cannot see what they actually do at run time.
  • It scans without credentials: tools behind authentication may not be visible.
  • It does not review source code, dependencies or the publisher's infrastructure.
  • A server can change behavior between scans; monitoring compares each scan with the last.
  • Classifications come from tool names, descriptions and schemas, which the publisher controls.
