OpenSkillRisk: Benchmarking Agent Safety When Using Real-World Risky Third-Party Skills
Merged summary
TL;DR - OpenSkillRisk is a safety benchmark built from 263 risky third-party skills found in public marketplaces. Tests show that current CLI agents and LLMs cannot reliably prevent unsafe execution, with even the safest configurations acting unsafely in roughly 17% of cases.
- Evaluates three mainstream CLI agent frameworks and 13 state-of-the-art LLMs in controlled sandboxes.
- Covers seven threat categories paired with standardized user tasks.
- Context-dependent and system-level risks were especially difficult for agents to avoid.
- Common failures include missing risks, recognizing them too late, and exceeding the user’s intended scope.
