Agent safety v2

65/100 · Review before install

Reviewed with permission notesreview

Usable candidate, but the agent should surface permission and audit notes before installation.

Require human approval before installing into a real workspace.

Resolve via API

medium

Network access

Skill likely fetches remote pages, APIs, repositories, or external services.

medium

Filesystem access

Skill may read or write project files, documents, generated artifacts, or local workspace state.

high

Secrets or environment access

Skill metadata references credentials, tokens, environment variables, or secret-bearing workflows.

  • High-risk permission hints: Secrets or environment access
  • Permission surface may require sandboxing

Agent resolve plan

Let an agent verify fit before installing.

The Resolve API returns the selected skill, alternatives, safety policy, audit notes, install target, and copy-paste prompt an agent can follow without scraping this page.

Open text plan

Agent should check

  • Task fit and alternatives from Resolve API.
  • Audit score, trust score, and safety policy warnings.
  • Install target compatibility for Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or CLI.

Copy prompt

Task: Use Caveman in this workspace.
Resolve first: https://www.openagentskill.com/api/agent/resolve?task=Use%20Caveman%20for%20an%20agent%20workflow&agent=codex&max_risk=medium
Review install handoff: https://www.openagentskill.com/api/skills/juliusbrussee-caveman/install
Install command: npx skills add JuliusBrussee/caveman
Before running it, summarize audit warnings, required permissions, and the fallback skill if install is risky.

Agent handoff

Give an agent the install path, not another directory page.

Use the public install endpoint to fetch the command, safety checklist, target prompts, and canonical links for this skill.

Implementation path

  1. 1Install it in a sandbox agent and run one Coding agents task end to end.
  2. 2Compare output quality, latency, and failure behavior against at least one alternative.
  3. 3Promote it into production only after reviewing repository permissions, license, and maintenance signals.
