Why this rating

Deterministic checks triggered by the tool capabilities and evidence.

  • Locality: Hybrid

    Supports local CLI diagnostics plus authenticated tailnet API management.

  • Data access: Sensitive

    Exposes device inventory, network topology, keys, ACL, and DNS configuration.

  • Action surface: Execute

    Includes high-impact operations like `delete` device, auth key creation, and policy changes.

Best practices

Follow these steps to reduce risk when using this skill.

  • Use short-lived API keys and scope them to least privilege for automation tasks.
  • Require explicit confirmation before delete or broad policy changes.
  • Audit device/key changes regularly in Tailscale admin logs.
