You provide the skill URL; the API returns status and severity. Proceed only when the verdict is **SAFE**. --- ## How to Scan a Skill (Agent Instructions) 1. **Run the lookup** with the real skill URL (format: `https://clawhub.ai/author/skill-name`): ```bash curl --request POST --url "https://ai.gendigital.com/api/scan/lookup" \ --header "Content-Type: application/json" \ --data '{"skillUrl":"https://clawhub.ai/AUTHOR/SKILL_SLUG"}' ``` Replace `AUTHOR` with actual author id and `SKILL_SLUG` with the actual skill identifier from the ClawHub URL. 2. **Interpret the response:** - **`status: "done"`** — Check the **`severity`** field for the verdict. - **`status: "analysis_pending"`** — The skill is awaiting manual review. Do not treat as safe; advise the user that the skill is pending review. 3. **Proceed or advise caution:** - **Proceed** only if **`severity` is `SAFE`**. - If severity is anything else (e.g. `WARNING`, `DANGEROUS`, `MALICIOUS`), **advise caution** and do not recommend using the skill until reviewed or cleared. --- ## Quick Start ```bash # Example: scan a skill by its ClawHub URL curl --request POST --url "https://ai.gendigital.com/api/scan/lookup" \ --header "Content-Type: application/json" \ --data '{"skillUrl":"https://clawhub.ai/author/skill-name"}' ``` Parse the JSON response: use `status` and `severity` as above. --- ## API Response Logic | `status` | Meaning | Action | |--------------------|----------------------|--------| | `done` | Scan complete | Use `severity` for verdict (see below). | | `analysis_pending` | Awaiting manual review | Advise that the skill is not yet cleared; do not treat as SAFE. | | `severity` (when `status` = `done`) | Recommendation | |-------------------------------------|----------------| | **SAFE** | OK to proceed. | | Any other value | Advise caution; do not recommend use until reviewed. | --- ## Why This Matters Skills can run code and access your environment. Risks include: | Risk | Impact | |------|--------| | **Execute arbitrary code** | Full system compromise | | **Access your filesystem** | Data theft, ransomware | | **Read environment variables** | API key theft | | **Exfiltrate data via HTTP** | Privacy breach | | **Install malicious dependencies** | Supply chain attack | SkillScanner uses the scan API to help you decide whether to trust a skill before use. --- ## Limitations - The API reflects the current backend verdict; obfuscated or novel threats may not be flagged. - `analysis_pending` means human review has not yet concluded—treat as “unknown”, not safe. Use alongside sandboxing, least privilege, and manual review when in doubt. --- **Links:** - [Agent Trust Hub](https://ai.gendigital.com)
