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 cliuxinxin/rag_agent at d55afb95d3.

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

About this skill

What it does

The url_reader skill allows an AI agent to fetch and extract text content from URLs. It can retrieve information from web pages, articles, or any other resource accessible via a URL. This enables the agent to incorporate external data into its knowledge base or responses.

When to use it

  • Research tasks: Have the agent summarize findings from multiple online sources for a report.
  • News aggregation: Instruct the agent to collect and synthesize news articles about a specific topic.
  • Content extraction: Extract product details, specifications, or other relevant information from an e-commerce website.
  • Data enrichment: Populate a database with data scraped from online forms or tables.

Key capabilities

  • Fetches content from URLs
  • Extracts text from fetched web pages

Example prompts

  • "Read the article at [URL] and summarize its main points."
  • "Can you get me the product description from this URL: [URL]?"
  • “Fetch the text from [URL] and extract any dates mentioned.”

Tips & gotchas

The agent's success depends on the URL being accessible and containing readable text. Some websites may have anti-scraping measures that could prevent content retrieval.
