Security Findings (21)

• HighInsecure Secret Handling ×6

  • YOUTUBE_GET_CHANNEL_ACTIVITIES:input parameter "pageToken" appears to accept a secret or credential
  • YOUTUBE_LIST_CHANNEL_VIDEOS:input parameter "pageToken" appears to accept a secret or credential
  • YOUTUBE_LIST_PLAYLIST_ITEMS:input parameter "pageToken" appears to accept a secret or credential
  • YOUTUBE_LIST_USER_PLAYLISTS:input parameter "pageToken" appears to accept a secret or credential
  • YOUTUBE_LIST_USER_SUBSCRIPTIONS:input parameter "pageToken" appears to accept a secret or credential
  • YOUTUBE_SEARCH_YOU_TUBE:input parameter "pageToken" 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

  • YOUTUBE_LOAD_CAPTIONS:tool declares network permission
  • YOUTUBE_SEARCH_YOU_TUBE:tool declares network permission
  • YOUTUBE_UPDATE_THUMBNAIL:tool declares network permission
  • YOUTUBE_UPDATE_VIDEO:tool declares exec permission
  • YOUTUBE_UPLOAD_VIDEO:tool declares exec 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 ×4

  • YOUTUBE_SEARCH_YOU_TUBE:tool declares db permission
  • YOUTUBE_UPDATE_THUMBNAIL:tool declares fs permission
  • YOUTUBE_UPDATE_VIDEO:tool declares fs permission
  • YOUTUBE_UPLOAD_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

  YOUTUBE_LOAD_CAPTIONS: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

  • YOUTUBE_LOAD_CAPTIONS:tool performs network or execution operations but declares no rate-limit, timeout, or retry configuration
  • YOUTUBE_SEARCH_YOU_TUBE:tool performs network or execution operations but declares no rate-limit, timeout, or retry configuration
  • YOUTUBE_UPDATE_THUMBNAIL:tool performs network or execution operations but declares no rate-limit, timeout, or retry configuration
  • YOUTUBE_UPDATE_VIDEO:tool performs network or execution operations but declares no rate-limit, timeout, or retry configuration
  • YOUTUBE_UPLOAD_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.
