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 awslabs/agent-plugins at 097fe8ad56.

    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. It allows agents to perform geocoding (converting addresses into geographic coordinates), reverse geocoding (finding an address from coordinates), and calculate distances between locations using AWS's mapping infrastructure. This enables location-based queries and integrations within AI agent workflows.

When to use it

  • Delivery Route Optimization: Calculate the most efficient route for a delivery driver, considering multiple stops.
  • Property Search: Find properties near a specific address or within a defined radius.
  • Nearby Business Recommendations: Identify businesses located close to a user's current location.
  • Geographic Data Analysis: Determine distances between points of interest for market research or analysis.

Key capabilities

  • Geocoding: Convert addresses into latitude and longitude coordinates.
  • Reverse Geocoding: Find the address associated with given geographic coordinates.
  • Distance Calculation: Calculate the distance between two locations.

Example prompts

  • "What are the coordinates for 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View?"
  • “Find the nearest coffee shop to 37.7749° N, 122.4194° W.”
  • “How far is San Francisco from Los Angeles?”

Tips & gotchas

Requires an AWS account and valid API keys for Amazon Location Service. Familiarity with AWS concepts may be helpful to troubleshoot any issues related to authentication or rate limits.
