inkog_skill_scan

Scan SKILL.md packages and agent tool definitions to detect security vulnerabilities like tool poisoning, command injection, and supply chain risks. Maps findings to OWASP security standards.

Instructions

Scan SKILL.md packages and agent tool definitions for security vulnerabilities. Detects tool poisoning, command injection, data exfiltration, prompt injection, excessive permissions, obfuscation, supply chain risks, and more. Maps findings to OWASP Agentic Top 10 and OWASP MCP Top 10. Set deep=true for AI-powered deep analysis (~10 min, catches novel threats). For MCP server scanning, use inkog_mcp_scan instead.

Implementation Reference

  • The handler function `handleSkillScan` performs the actual scanning logic by interacting with the Inkog API and formatting the findings into a readable string.
    async function handleSkillScan(args: Record<string, unknown>): Promise<ToolResult> {
      const parsed = SkillScanArgsSchema.parse(args);
    
      try {
        const client = getClient();

            repositoryUrl: parsed.repository_url,
          });
        } else if (parsed.path) {
          // For local paths, we'd need to read files and upload
