Automated safety checks

scanned 27 Sept 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 softaworks/agent-toolkit at 3027f20f31.
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

The mermaid-diagrams skill enables AI agents to generate and render Mermaid diagrams, which are text-based diagramming tools used for creating flowcharts, sequence diagrams, Gantt charts, and more. It allows users to define visual structures using simple syntax and then renders them as images or interactive elements.

When to use it

To create flowcharts for explaining processes in documentation or presentations
For generating sequence diagrams during software development planning
When visualizing project timelines with Gantt charts

Key capabilities

Supports multiple Mermaid diagram types (e.g., flowchart, sequence, Gantt)
Converts text-based definitions into rendered diagrams
Integrates with AI agents for dynamic content generation

Example prompts

"Generate a flowchart showing the steps in user authentication."
"Create a sequence diagram for a login request and response process."
"Render a Gantt chart for the upcoming sprint timeline."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your Mermaid syntax is correct to avoid rendering errors.
Diagram complexity may affect performance, so keep definitions concise where possible.
