Install target

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 mims-harvard/tooluniverse at f5c37eebeb.

    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

This skill enables AI agents to discover and install new capabilities directly from the ToolUniverse registry. It acts as a bridge, allowing agents to dynamically expand their functionality by fetching and integrating external tools without manual configuration.

When to use it

  • When an agent encounters a task it cannot perform with its current toolset.
  • To automatically update an agent's capabilities with the latest community-contributed skills.
  • When building modular systems where agents need to swap or add functions on demand.
  • For orchestrating multi-agent workflows that require specialized, external utilities.

Key capabilities

  • Discovery: Scans the ToolUniverse registry to find available skills matching specific needs.
  • Installation: Executes the necessary steps to install selected skills into the agent's environment.
  • Integration: Ensures newly installed tools are immediately accessible for execution.

Example prompts

  • "Find and install a tool capable of analyzing financial spreadsheets."
  • "What new capabilities can you add from the registry to help me write Python code?"
  • "Discover a skill that allows real-time weather data retrieval and install it."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure the AI agent has the necessary permissions to execute installation commands, as adding external tools may require elevated access or specific network configurations. Always verify the source and reputation of discovered skills before allowing an agent to install them in a production environment.
