## Summary
```text
### Summary
`SkillTools.run_skill_script()` accepts a `script_path` parameter and executes it via `subprocess.run()` without any path containment validation. While `FileTools` has `_validate_path()` with traversal detection, `SkillTools` performs none. An LLM-directed call can execute arbitrary scripts from any filesystem location. The `@require_approval` decorator can be bypassed via YAML `approve:` for high-risk tools.
