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 ukgovernmentbeis/inspect_ai at b925c20321.

    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

network-info

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to retrieve and analyze network configuration data, allowing them to understand connectivity states, inspect active connections, and diagnose infrastructure issues programmatically. It serves as a foundational tool for agents needing visibility into system networking layers to perform troubleshooting or compliance checks.

When to use it

  • Diagnosing why a service fails to connect to an external API endpoint.
  • Verifying that firewall rules are correctly applied before deploying new software.
  • Gathering network topology details to map dependencies in a microservices architecture.
  • Automating routine health checks for server connectivity and latency.

Key capabilities

  • Querying active network connections and listening ports on local hosts.
  • Resolving domain names to IP addresses for verification purposes.
  • Retrieving routing tables and interface configurations.
  • Executing standard diagnostic commands like ping, traceroute, and netstat.

Example prompts

  • "Check if port 80 is open on the primary web server."
  • "List all active outbound connections from this machine to external IPs."
  • "Diagnose why I cannot reach the database cluster by checking network latency."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure the AI agent has appropriate OS-level permissions (e.g., root or sudo) to execute network diagnostic commands, as many require elevated privileges. Be aware that results are specific to the machine where the skill is executed; remote network inspection requires additional configuration or agent capabilities.
