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 allows you to discover and install new capabilities directly onto your AI agents. It expands agent functionality by pulling in pre-defined skills from the ToolUniverse registry, enabling them to perform tasks they couldn't handle before without requiring manual code integration.

When to use it

  • You need an agent to access a specific external API or service not currently available in its base toolkit.
  • You want to rapidly prototype new workflows by swapping in different specialized skills for testing.
  • Your agent requires updated logic or data processing methods provided by the community ToolUniverse.
  • You are building a multi-agent system where each agent needs distinct, installable competencies.

Key capabilities

  • Discovery: Browse the ToolUniverse registry to find relevant skills for your specific use case.
  • Installation: Directly deploy selected skills to your active AI agent environment.
  • Modularity: Add or remove capabilities dynamically without rewriting core agent code.
  • Community Integration: Access a growing library of skills contributed by developers like mims-harvard.

Example prompts

  • "Install the 'web-search' skill from ToolUniverse so I can get real-time information."
  • "Discover and add a skill that allows my agent to analyze financial spreadsheets."
  • "List available skills in ToolUniverse related to natural language processing and install one."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has the necessary permissions or API keys required by the specific skill you are installing, as some tools may need external authentication. Verify that the installed skill is compatible with your current agent framework to prevent runtime errors.
