Automated safety checks

scanned 2 Oct 2026

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 g1joshi/agent-skills at 6a74cf03a8.
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 allows an AI agent to interact with REST APIs. It can retrieve data from, and potentially modify, resources exposed through standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE). The agent can handle authentication and pagination as needed for the specific API being accessed.

When to use it

Data Retrieval: Fetching current weather conditions from a weather API.
Automated Tasks: Posting updates to a social media platform via their API.
System Integration: Retrieving customer data from a CRM system's REST endpoint.
Inventory Management: Updating product quantities in an e-commerce store’s API.

Key capabilities

REST API interaction (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
Authentication handling
Pagination support

Example prompts

"Get the current price of Bitcoin from the CoinGecko API."
"Post a new tweet to Twitter with the message 'Hello world!'"
“Retrieve all customers from the CRM system’s /customers endpoint.”

Tips & gotchas

The agent will need specific details about the target REST API, including endpoints and authentication methods. Ensure the agent has appropriate credentials or access tokens before attempting any interactions.
