Risk Assessment

| Risk Indicator | Assessment | Level | |----------------|------------|-------| | Code Execution | Python/R scripts executed locally | Medium | | Network Access | No external API calls | Low | | File System Access | Read input files, write output files | Medium | | Instruction Tampering | Standard prompt guidelines | Low | | Data Exposure | Output files saved to workspace | Low |

Security Checklist

[ ] No hardcoded credentials or API keys
[ ] No unauthorized file system access (../)
[ ] Output does not expose sensitive information
[ ] Prompt injection protections in place
[ ] Input file paths validated (no ../ traversal)
[ ] Output directory restricted to workspace
[ ] Script execution in sandboxed environment
[ ] Error messages sanitized (no stack traces exposed)
[ ] Dependencies audited

Prerequisites

No additional Python packages required.
