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 armanzeroeight/fastagent-plugins at 61b61a99e6.

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

About this skill

What it does

This skill allows AI agents to interact with AWS Cost Optimizer. It can analyze your AWS usage and cost patterns, identify potential savings opportunities, and recommend actions like rightsizing EC2 instances or purchasing reserved capacity. The tool helps users understand their cloud spending and optimize resource utilization for cost efficiency.

  • Rightsizing Recommendations: You want suggestions on how to adjust EC2 instance sizes based on actual usage.
  • Reserved Instance Evaluation: You're considering purchasing reserved instances and want to understand the potential cost savings.
  • Budget Optimization: You need help identifying areas where you can reduce AWS spending to stay within a budget.

Key capabilities

  • AWS Cost & Usage Report analysis
  • EC2 instance rightsizing recommendations
  • Reserved Instance (RI) purchase/sale suggestions
  • Cost anomaly detection

Example prompts

  • "Analyze my current AWS costs and identify any areas where I can save money."
  • "What EC2 instances are over-provisioned based on recent usage?"
  • "Should I buy a Reserved Instance for this database server?"

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires appropriate AWS credentials with access to Cost Explorer data.
  • The accuracy of recommendations depends on the quality and completeness of your AWS cost and usage data.
