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 brownfinesecurity/iothackbot at d443c408a9.

    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, wsdiscovery, provides capabilities related to Web Services Discovery (WS-Discovery). It allows an AI agent to locate and interact with web services on a network. Specifically, it enables agents to find devices and services advertising their presence using WS-Discovery protocols.

When to use it

  • Device discovery: Automatically identify available IoT devices on a local network without manual configuration.
  • Service location: Find specific web service endpoints based on advertised metadata.
  • Network automation: Integrate with network management systems that utilize WS-Discovery for device onboarding and configuration.
  • Smart home integration: Discover and control smart home appliances exposing services via WS-Discovery.

Key capabilities

  • WS-Discovery protocol support
  • Device advertisement discovery
  • Service endpoint location
  • Network scanning

Example prompts

  • "Find all available printers on the network."
  • "Locate a web service advertising 'smart thermostat' functionality."
  • "Discover devices offering file sharing services."

Tips & gotchas

The effectiveness of this skill depends on target devices or services properly implementing and advertising via WS-Discovery. Ensure that your network allows for WS-Discovery traffic (typically UDP multicast).
