CAUTION version 1.0.1 · audited 2026-09-17
This package is a how-to skill for using vdirsyncer and khal to sync and manage CalDAV calendars on Linux. It provides commands to install those tools, sync with CalDAV providers such as iCloud, Fastmail, and Nextcloud, and list, search, create, edit, and delete events. The sample configuration fetches a calendar password from a local plaintext file and uses remote-wins conflict resolution, so both credential handling and overwrite behavior deserve review. No hidden downloaders, obfuscation, or prompt-injection attempts were found. The behavior matches the declared purpose but can modify or delete calendar data, so it is rated CAUTION.
| Declared purpose | Sync and query CalDAV calendars (iCloud, Google, Fastmail, Nextcloud, etc.) using vdirsyncer + khal. Works on Linux. |
| Observed behavior | The skill instructs the agent to install vdirsyncer and khal via apt, run vdirsyncer discover/sync to sync CalDAV data to local .ics files, and use khal to list, search, create, edit, and delete calendar events. It includes sample vdirsyncer and khal configuration files and documents provider URLs for iCloud, Fastmail, and Nextcloud. It also instructs removing the local khal cache database with rm. |
| Verdict, rules only | SAFE |
| Verdict, AI | CAUTION |
| Final verdict | CAUTION (never better than either pass) |
| capability | vs purpose | detail |
|---|---|---|
| network | needed | vdirsyncer sync contacts remote CalDAV providers; SKILL.md documents https://caldav.icloud.com/ (line 111) and https://caldav.fastmail.com/dav/calendars/user/EMAIL/ (line 124). |
| shell | needed | The skill uses bash code blocks, starting with the bash marker at SKILL.md line 14, and commands such as vdirsyncer sync (line 15), khal new (line 38), khal edit (line 54), and rm ~/.local/share/khal/khal.db (line 91). |
| filesystem_read | needed | SKILL.md line 9 says khal reads and writes local .ics files. The sample iCloud config reads a local password file with password.fetch = ["command", "cat", "~/.config/vdirsyncer/icloud_password"] (SKILL.md line 113). |
| filesystem_write | needed | SKILL.md line 9 says khal reads and writes local .ics files; commands like khal new (line 38), khal edit (line 54), delete option (line 64), and rm ~/.local/share/khal/khal.db (line 91) can modify local files or delete cache data. |
| credentials | needed | CalDAV access requires credentials; the sample stores a username and fetches a password from a local plaintext file (SKILL.md lines 112-113). |
| install_packages | needed | Metadata installs vdirsyncer and khal via apt (SKILL.md line 4). |
| severity | finding |
|---|---|
| info | Declares apt installation of vdirsyncer and khal The skill metadata requires the tools and installs them via apt. This is consistent with the declared purpose of using vdirsyncer and khal. SKILL.md:4 metadata: {"clawdbot":{"emoji":"📅","os":["linux"],"requires":{"bins":["vdirsyncer","khal"]},"install":[{"id":"apt","kind":"apt","packages":["vdirsyncer","khal"] |
| info | Instructs CalDAV network sync Syncs local .ics files with remote CalDAV providers. Network access is required for the stated purpose. SKILL.md:15 vdirsyncer sync |
| low | Can create calendar events The command creates calendar events, including on remote calendars after syncing. This matches the skill's declared purpose but modifies user calendar data. SKILL.md:38 khal new 2026-01-15 10:00 11:00 "Meeting title" |
| medium | Can delete calendar events The khal edit menu option D deletes events. This is disclosed in skill-card.md line 24, but a user should review before letting an agent do it. SKILL.md:64 - `D` → delete event |
| low | Deletes the local khal cache database The command removes khal's local cache file. This is a destructive filesystem action, though limited to the cache rather than calendar data. SKILL.md:91 rm ~/.local/share/khal/khal.db |
| medium | Remote-wins conflict resolution can overwrite local changes The sample vdirsyncer configuration sets the remote side to win conflicts, which can overwrite local changes during sync. The risk is disclosed in skill-card.md lines 32-34. SKILL.md:107 conflict_resolution = "a wins" |
| medium | Fetches calendar password from a local plaintext file The sample configuration uses cat to read an iCloud password from ~/.config/vdirsyncer/icloud_password. The risk of local credential storage is disclosed in skill-card.md lines 28-30. SKILL.md:113 password.fetch = ["command", "cat", "~/.config/vdirsyncer/icloud_password"] |
| info | Documents a CalDAV provider endpoint This is one of the documented external network destinations used for calendar sync. It is consistent with the declared purpose. SKILL.md:124 - Fastmail: `https://caldav.fastmail.com/dav/calendars/user/EMAIL/` |
| info | Publisher link to ClawHub user page The skill card contains an external link to the publisher's ClawHub page. No hidden network behavior is associated with this link. skill-card.md:9 [asleep123](https://clawhub.ai/user/asleep123) |
| info | Discloses calendar data risk The skill card explicitly states that the tools can access and modify calendar data, which aligns with the shell commands in SKILL.md. skill-card.md:24 Risk: vdirsyncer and khal can access and modify calendar data. |

The complete published package of this exact version was downloaded from the registry and read statically; nothing was executed. A deterministic pass extracts network destinations, binaries, environment variables, writes, install commands, obfuscation markers, subprocesses and wallets, each with file and line. An AI then reads the whole package with those facts and writes the summary, the capabilities and the findings under a strict schema; every finding it produces must cite a file, a line and the exact text, or it is dropped. The final verdict is the worst of the two passes. The audit does not change the skill's trust tier (policy); the author may respond through the dispute channel and the response is published here. Commissioned by: the Agent Economy Report (free program: the 150 most downloaded skills, September 2026).
