Security Findings (15)

• HighInsecure Secret Handling ×2

  • GEMINI_GENERATE_CONTENT:input parameter "max_output_tokens" appears to accept a secret or credential
  • GEMINI_GENERATE_IMAGE:input parameter "max_output_tokens" appears to accept a secret or credential

  Rule: AS-010Fix: Avoid accepting raw credentials as input parameters. Use secret managers (e.g. 1Password CLI, AWS Secrets Manager) and ensure credentials are never logged or stored in agent traces.
• HighExcessive Permission Surface ×5

  • GEMINI_GENERATE_IMAGE:tool declares network permission
  • GEMINI_GENERATE_IMAGE:tool declares exec permission
  • GEMINI_GENERATE_VIDEOS:tool declares network permission
  • GEMINI_GET_VIDEOS_OPERATION:tool declares network permission
  • GEMINI_WAIT_FOR_VIDEO:tool declares network permission

  Rule: AS-002Fix: Tool requests broad permissions (exec/fs/network). Validate input parameters using Enums where possible, and restrict file system operations to explicit allowed directories.
• MediumExcessive Permission Surface ×2

  • GEMINI_GENERATE_IMAGE:tool declares fs permission
  • GEMINI_WAIT_FOR_VIDEO:tool declares fs permission

  Rule: AS-002Fix: Tool requests broad permissions (exec/fs/network). Validate input parameters using Enums where possible, and restrict file system operations to explicit allowed directories.
• LowExcessive Permission Surface

  GEMINI_COUNT_TOKENS:tool declares http permission

  Rule: AS-002Fix: Tool requests broad permissions (exec/fs/network). Validate input parameters using Enums where possible, and restrict file system operations to explicit allowed directories.
• LowDoS Resilience — Missing Rate Limit / Timeout ×5

  • GEMINI_COUNT_TOKENS:tool performs network or execution operations but declares no rate-limit, timeout, or retry configuration
  • GEMINI_GENERATE_IMAGE:tool performs network or execution operations but declares no rate-limit, timeout, or retry configuration
  • GEMINI_GENERATE_VIDEOS:tool performs network or execution operations but declares no rate-limit, timeout, or retry configuration
  • GEMINI_GET_VIDEOS_OPERATION:tool performs network or execution operations but declares no rate-limit, timeout, or retry configuration
  • GEMINI_WAIT_FOR_VIDEO:tool performs network or execution operations but declares no rate-limit, timeout, or retry configuration

  Rule: AS-011Fix: Declare explicit rate-limit, timeout, and retry configuration for all network and execution tools. Implement exponential back-off and surface resource state to the calling agent.
