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 brightdata/skills at e825f02fbc.

    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 Bright Data's Managed Proxy service (MCP) through a standardized API. It allows AI agents to rotate residential proxies, geo-locate requests, and handle proxy authentication automatically. This enables agents to scrape data from websites that restrict access based on IP address or location.

When to use it

  • Web Scraping: Collect data from websites that block standard IPs.
  • Geo-Targeted Data Collection: Gather information specific to a particular geographic region.
  • Avoiding Anti-Bot Measures: Bypass website restrictions designed to prevent automated access.
  • Market Research: Collect pricing or product information from competitor sites in different locations.

Key capabilities

  • Proxy Rotation: Automatically rotates through available residential proxies.
  • Geo-location: Requests can be routed through specific geographic locations.
  • Authentication Handling: Manages proxy authentication automatically.
  • Standardized API: Provides a consistent interface for interacting with Bright Data's MCP.

Example prompts

  • "Scrape the product prices from example.com, routing requests through New York City."
  • "Get the latest news headlines from a German news website using residential proxies."
  • "Collect data from this e-commerce site, ensuring my IP address is rotated frequently to avoid detection."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires a valid Bright Data account and API key for authentication. Ensure your API key has sufficient permissions to access the Managed Proxy service.
