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 prowler-cloud/prowler at 03502c2426.

    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

The pytest skill enables AI agents to execute automated testing frameworks within the Prowler security auditing tool, validating cloud infrastructure configurations against defined security standards. It allows agents to run specific checks or full audit suites programmatically to ensure compliance and identify vulnerabilities in cloud environments.

When to use it

  • Validating that recent cloud configuration changes have not introduced new security gaps.
  • Automating periodic security audits of AWS, Azure, or GCP resources before deployment.
  • Verifying the effectiveness of remediation scripts by re-running failed checks after fixes are applied.
  • Integrating security testing directly into CI/CD pipelines for continuous compliance monitoring.

Key capabilities

  • Executes Prowler's native Python-based testing framework.
  • Runs specific security checks or entire audit profiles against cloud providers.
  • Generates detailed reports on infrastructure misconfigurations and potential risks.
  • Supports custom test definitions to extend standard Prowler functionality.

Example prompts

  • "Run the full AWS S3 bucket security audit using pytest and summarize any findings."
  • "Execute a specific check for public S3 buckets in the 'us-east-1' region and report results."
  • "Validate that all IAM roles follow least privilege principles using the Prowler test suite."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you have valid credentials configured for your target cloud provider before initiating tests, as access failures will halt execution. This skill is specific to the Prowler tool; it does not perform general-purpose unit testing for unrelated codebases.
