Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned aws-geospatial/amazon-location-agent-context at 6228773585.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides access to Amazon Location Service capabilities, enabling AI agents to perform geocoding (converting addresses into geographic coordinates), reverse geocoding (finding the address for a given coordinate), and calculate places. It allows agents to understand and interact with location-based data, improving their ability to respond to queries involving locations. The skill leverages AWS's geospatial services for accurate and reliable results.

When to use it

  • Finding nearby businesses: An agent can determine restaurants or shops near a user’s current location.
  • Calculating travel distances: Agents can estimate the distance between two addresses or coordinates.
  • Reverse geocoding an address: Given GPS coordinates, the agent can identify the corresponding street address and city.
  • Address validation: An agent can verify if a provided address is valid and complete.

Key capabilities

  • Geocoding: Convert addresses to geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude).
  • Reverse Geocoding: Convert geographic coordinates to addresses.
  • Places calculation: Determine the distance between two locations or points of interest.

Example prompts

  • "What are some restaurants near 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View?"
  • “Can you tell me what address corresponds to latitude 37.7749 and longitude -122.4194?”
  • "How far is San Francisco from Los Angeles?"

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires an AWS account with appropriate permissions to access Amazon Location Service resources.
  • Accuracy of results depends on the quality of the input address data.
