Automated safety checks

scanned 28 Sept 2026

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.

Declares what it does: failed
No SKILL.md was found in the skill's directory.
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 github/awesome-copilot at 6c4d33b9cf.
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 winmd-api-search skill enables users to search and retrieve information about Windows Metadata (WinMD) APIs. It provides access to detailed documentation, parameters, return types, and usage examples of WinMD components used in .NET for Windows development.

When to use it

You're developing a .NET application targeting Windows and need details on specific WinMD APIs.
You want to understand how a particular WinMD method or class is structured and what parameters it accepts.
You are debugging an issue related to WinMD API behavior and need quick access to documentation.

Key capabilities

Search for WinMD APIs by name or functionality.
Retrieve detailed metadata, including parameter types and return values.
Access usage examples and code snippets for common WinMD methods.

Example prompts

"Show me the parameters for the Windows.Foundation.Uri class."
"What is the return type of the GetHashCode method in WinMD?"
"Find documentation on how to use the Windows.Storage API."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you have a stable internet connection, as this skill relies on external documentation sources.
Some WinMD APIs may require specific Windows versions or SDKs for full compatibility.
