Not so sure about the Palantir.

The palantiri were utilitarian devices for the Numenorians. It's hard to imagine their having evil tendencies of their own. The problem is that Sauron had acquired the Ithil Stone, and was therefore "on the network" and able to exert his own evil in communication with the stones used by Saruman and Denethor (and, potentially, on Gandalf had he attempted to use one).

"When can an object be evil?" May be a promising question

Some objects are "evil" in Tolkien's world, but he explains what that means in terms of his story.
