The skill uses a local CLI tool that communicates with Apple Notes via AppleScript and has no network functionality, posing minimal security risk. The primary concern is the documented requirement for Automation permissions, which is a standard macOS security control, and the installation instructions include a `sudo` command, which is a common but low-risk privilege escalation for binary placement.
