Automated safety checks

scanned 12 Oct 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 bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills at 718070a7d6.
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 pytest skill enables AI agents to run and manage Python unit tests using the popular pytest framework. It allows users to execute test suites, generate reports, and identify failures or errors in code. This is particularly useful for developers who need automated testing capabilities within their workflows.

When to use it

You want to automate running Python unit tests as part of a CI/CD pipeline.
You're debugging an application and need detailed feedback from test runs.
Your development workflow requires integration with pytest for continuous testing.

Key capabilities

Execute pytest commands in a controlled environment.
Generate test reports and summaries.
Identify failing tests and provide error details.

Example prompts

"Run all unit tests in the current directory using pytest."
"Generate an HTML report of the latest test run."
"Identify which tests failed in the last pytest execution."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure that pytest is installed in your environment before using this skill.
Test files must be structured correctly (e.g., named test_*.py) for pytest to recognize them.
