Provider Probe

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

Provider Probe appears to do what it says—test selected OpenAI-compatible endpoints—but it needs provider API keys and makes real API calls that may be logged or billed.

This skill looks safe to use for its stated purpose if you are comfortable with it reading a specified provider config or using a provided API key, then sending several small test requests to the chosen endpoint. Verify the base URL and use scoped or disposable keys for audits.

ASI03: Identity and Privilege Abuse
Low
What this means

A real provider API key may be used, requests may consume quota, and a key could be exposed if paired with an untrusted or incorrect base URL.

Why it was flagged

The script sends the supplied or config-read API key as a bearer token to the selected provider base URL. This is necessary for the stated probing purpose, but it is still sensitive delegated account access.

Skill content
'Authorization': f'Bearer {api_key}'
Recommendation

Use scoped or test API keys where possible, verify the base URL before running, avoid placing real keys in shared command history or logs, and rotate keys if they may have been exposed.

ASI02: Tool Misuse and Exploitation
Info
What this means

Running the probe can create provider-side logs, trigger rate limits, and incur small API costs for each selected provider.

Why it was flagged

The script performs repeated live API calls for stability testing. This is purpose-aligned, but it is real external tool/API use rather than a passive inspection.

Skill content
for i in range(5):
        ok, http, latency, raw = http_call(base_url, api_key, chosen, model, 'Reply with exactly OK')
Recommendation

Run it only against providers you intend to audit, limit the provider list, and monitor usage or billing when probing paid endpoints.
