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 1 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.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: ps.pndsn.com.

    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.

    Hosts contacted

    ps.pndsn.comundeclared

    What it found

    • pubnub-security/references/ip-whitelisting.md:37contacts ps.pndsn.com
      curl -i "https://ps.pndsn.com/time/0?uuid=test"

  • 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 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 pubnub/skills at f3234b29d1.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides access to PubNub's security features, enabling secure real-time data streaming and communication. It allows agents to manage user authentication, authorization, and encryption within a PubNub environment. Specifically, the skill facilitates controlling access to data streams and protecting sensitive information transmitted through PubNub channels.

When to use it

  • Secure Real-Time Chat: Build chat applications where message content is encrypted and only accessible by authorized users.
  • IoT Device Data Streaming: Securely transmit sensor data from IoT devices, ensuring that only authenticated parties can access the information.
  • Financial Transaction Processing: Implement secure real-time updates for financial transactions, protecting sensitive data during transmission.
  • Location Sharing Applications: Control who can view location data shared in real-time, enforcing privacy and security policies.

Key capabilities

  • User authentication management
  • Authorization control of PubNub channels
  • Encryption of data streams
  • Secure access to PubNub features

Example prompts

  • "Authenticate user 'john.doe' with PubNub."
  • "Grant read access to channel 'my_channel' for user ID 'user123'."
  • "Encrypt all messages sent on channel 'data_stream'."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires a valid PubNub API key and configuration.
  • Ensure proper user management practices are in place before using this skill to control access effectively.
