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 xmcp-dev/skills at 3de6822ec7.

    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, xmcp-dev-create-tool, allows AI agents to generate code for creating new tools. It can produce the necessary files and configurations needed to define a custom tool that an agent can then use. This simplifies the process of extending an agent's capabilities with specialized functionalities.

When to use it

  • You need to add a specific, unique action or function to your AI agent’s repertoire.
  • You want to automate the creation of new tools for repetitive tasks.
  • You are developing a framework and require a tool generation component.
  • You're prototyping an agent with custom actions and need to quickly generate the initial tool structure.

Key capabilities

  • Generates code for creating new tools.
  • Automates tool creation process.
  • Supports defining custom tool functionalities.

Example prompts

  • "Create a tool that summarizes articles."
  • "Generate code for a tool to translate text between English and Spanish."
  • "I need a tool to calculate the area of a circle, please create it."

Tips & gotchas

The generated code will likely require some customization depending on your specific agent framework and desired functionality. Review the generated files carefully before deploying them in production.
