Why this rating
Deterministic checks triggered by the tool capabilities and evidence.
- Locality: Hybrid
SSH commands explicitly connect from local machine to remote hosts over network.
- Data access: Sensitive
Handles private keys, authorized keys, and remote system access contexts.
- Action surface: Execute
Includes remote command execution and forwarding workflows that can change remote state.
Best practices
Follow these steps to reduce risk when using this skill.
- Use passphrase-protected keys and avoid password-based SSH where possible.
- Restrict remote commands and forwarding rules to the minimum required scope.
- Verify host fingerprints before first connection to prevent man-in-the-middle risks.
