Automated safety checks

scanned

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.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 6 hosts that are neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: 869hr.uk, hero-sms.com, img.869hr.uk, img.youtube.com, qr.869hr.uk….

    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.
