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 apollographql/skills at 322da824b2.

    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

The apollo-server skill enables AI agents to create and manage GraphQL APIs with ease. It provides tools for defining schemas, handling queries and mutations, and integrating with various data sources.

When to use it

  • Building a GraphQL API for a web or mobile application
  • Integrating backend services with frontend clients using GraphQL
  • Prototyping or testing GraphQL endpoints quickly

Key capabilities

  • Schema definition and validation
  • Query and mutation support
  • Integration with data sources like databases or external APIs
  • Support for middleware and plugins

Example prompts

  • "Set up a GraphQL API with Apollo Server and define a user schema."
  • "Create an endpoint that allows querying product details from a database using GraphQL."
  • "Implement authentication middleware in an Apollo Server instance."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure you have Node.js installed, as Apollo Server is built for JavaScript/TypeScript environments.
  • Be mindful of performance considerations when handling complex queries or large datasets.
