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 3 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.

  • Declares what it does: failed

    SKILL.md frontmatter is missing description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 2 hosts that are neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: repo.nextdns.io, test.nextdns.io.

    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.

About this skill

What it does

The nextdns-cli skill allows AI agents to interact with your NextDNS configuration. It enables querying of DNS logs, updating configurations, and managing your NextDNS account programmatically. This provides a powerful way to automate network security management and troubleshoot connectivity issues.

When to use it

  • Troubleshooting Network Issues: When experiencing internet connection problems or suspecting DNS-related interference, the agent can query NextDNS logs for insights.
  • Automating Security Updates: Automatically apply new configurations or blocklists provided by NextDNS to enhance network security.
  • Managing Multiple Devices: Simplify the management of NextDNS settings across numerous devices connected to your network.
  • Monitoring DNS Activity: Regularly check and analyze DNS query patterns for potential threats or anomalies.

Key capabilities

  • Querying DNS logs
  • Updating configurations
  • Managing NextDNS account

Example prompts

  • "Show me the last 100 DNS queries from my network."
  • "Apply the 'default' configuration to all devices."
  • "What is my current NextDNS subscription status?"

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires a valid NextDNS account and API key for full functionality.
  • Be mindful of rate limits when querying logs frequently.
