SEC522 / MD-EDIT-WILDCARD ​

SEC522 flags AI-native markdown frontmatter when allowed-tools or allowed_tools contains the exact wildcard token Edit(*).

Why It Matters ​

Edit(*) gives unconstrained editing authority as a shared default. Narrower edit scopes are easier to review and less likely to surprise downstream users of the skill or instruction file.

Trigger Shape ​

  • AI-native markdown surface with parsed frontmatter
  • path is not fixture-like
  • allowed-tools or allowed_tools contains the exact token Edit(*)

Safer Example ​
