Automated safety checks
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

About this skill
What it does
This skill allows AI agents to handle and respond appropriately to REST API requests. It can parse incoming request data, determine the correct action based on the HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE), and formulate responses including status codes and relevant data. The agent is capable of understanding common RESTful principles for interacting with APIs.
When to use it
- Automated Data Retrieval: When an AI needs to fetch information from a database or external service via a REST API (e.g., pulling product details from an e-commerce platform).
- Process Automation: To trigger actions on remote systems by sending requests, such as creating new user accounts in a CRM.
- Responding to Webhooks: When the AI agent needs to react to events pushed via RESTful webhooks (e.g., processing notifications from a payment gateway).
- Building Simple APIs: To expose functionality through a basic REST API endpoint for other applications or services.
Key capabilities
- HTTP Method Handling (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
- Request Data Parsing
- Response Formatting with Status Codes
- RESTful Principles Understanding
Example prompts
- "Respond to the incoming POST request at /users with the data {name: 'Alice', email: '[email protected]}."
- "Send a GET request to https://api.example.com/products and return the JSON response."
- "Handle the webhook notification received at /payment-status, extract the transaction ID, and log it."
Tips & gotchas
The agent's understanding of RESTful API design is dependent on clear instructions and well-defined request/response structures. Providing example requests and expected responses can significantly improve performance.
