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 failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: yourmoodle.com.

    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 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.

About this skill

The moodle-external-api-development skill enables AI agents to interact with Moodle Learning Management Systems via external APIs. It facilitates the creation of custom integrations, allowing automation of course management, user enrollment, and grade reporting without direct database access.

When to use it

  • Automating repetitive administrative tasks like bulk student enrollments or course resets.
  • Building third-party plugins that sync Moodle data with external CRM or HR systems.
  • Creating custom dashboards that visualize learner progress by pulling metrics from the LMS.
  • Developing scripts to push content updates or announcements directly into specific Moodle courses.

Key capabilities

  • Direct interaction with Moodle's RESTful API endpoints.
  • Authentication handling using standard Moodle token-based security.
  • Data retrieval and manipulation for users, courses, and activities.
  • Support for both read-only queries and write operations (e.g., creating assignments).

Example prompts

  • "Write a Python script to enroll all students from a CSV file into the 'Intro to Python' course using the Moodle API."
  • "Generate a Node.js function that retrieves the latest grade report for a specific user ID and formats it as JSON."
  • "Create an automated workflow that posts a new announcement to every active course whenever a new module is added."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has valid API credentials (username, password, or token) configured before attempting any write operations. Always verify the specific Moodle version compatibility, as API endpoints and authentication methods can vary significantly between versions.
