Why this rating

Deterministic checks triggered by the tool capabilities and evidence.

  • Locality: Hybrid

    It validates local execution paths and screens external URLs/content pipelines.

  • Data access: Sensitive

    Input streams can include API payloads, message-like content, and secret-bearing text.

  • Action surface: Execute

    It runs audit/install/validate command flows and is designed for automation hooks.

Best practices

Follow these steps to reduce risk when using this skill.

  • Run audits in CI and fail builds on critical findings before deployment.
  • Keep sanitizer scripts immutable and checksum-verified in production environments.
  • Treat all fetched external content as untrusted until it passes validation checks.

Max-risk rule

If any capability reaches a higher level, the entire indicator level bumps up to keep ratings deterministic and easy to scan.
