go-specialist — agentic threat model
The go-specialist agent poses a high risk to local developer environments due to its direct write and execution access to Go codebases via the context7 MCP server, lacking explicit sandboxing or built-in security controls.

Scored with the canonical OWASP AIVSS formula (AIVSS calculator reference); agentic risk factors estimated from the agent’s described capabilities.
MAESTRO 7-layer threat model
Per-layer threats for this agent. Layers tagged “not certain from listing” are general, caveated commentary where the public description didn’t pin that layer.
Not certain from the listing — assumes Claude (via Claude Code) as the underlying foundation model. Threats include prompt injection leading to malicious code generation or unauthorized file edits.
Not certain from the listing — primarily operates on local Go source code files rather than a vector database or RAG pipeline, though context7 MCP server provides context. Risk of poisoning if malicious code is introduced into the codebase.
The agent uses Claude Code plugin architecture and bundles the context7 MCP server. Threats include tool misuse (e.g., go-tool executing malicious commands) and insecure tool integration.
Not certain from the listing — runs locally on the developer's machine as a Claude Code plugin. Lack of sandboxing could allow a compromised plugin to escalate privileges or access sensitive local files.
Not certain from the listing — no mention of built-in guardrails, logging, or evaluation frameworks for the plugin's actions.
Not certain from the listing — no explicit authentication, authorization, or compliance controls mentioned for the plugin or MCP server.
The agent acts as a plugin within the Claude Code ecosystem and uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Threats include A2A trust abuse if other MCP servers or plugins interact with it.
