Security Scan

The skill's description and runtime instructions line up with a real-estate data proxy, but it comes from an unknown source, references an external gateway URL, and does not declare any required credentials or authentication — gaps that warrant caution.

Purpose & Capability

Name, description, and SKILL.md functions (market_stats, inventory_trend, active_listings, etc.) are coherent and match the provided MCP server URL for an Altos data gateway.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md is brief and focused on querying regional real-estate data and includes a config snippet pointing at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/altos/mcp. It does not instruct the agent to read unrelated files or secrets, but the doc is truncated and provides no authentication or privacy guidance.

Install Mechanism

Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files — nothing is written to disk by an installer, which reduces install-time risk.

Credentials

The skill expects network calls to an external gateway but declares no required environment variables or primary credential. Real-world usage of an external API typically requires API keys or tokens; the lack of declared auth is a discrepancy (it may rely on implicit/global credentials or omit necessary security guidance). The gateway domain is not a well-known official Altos/MLS domain, which increases the need for verification.

Persistence & Privilege

always:false and no config paths or system-modifying instructions are present. The skill does not request elevated/persistent privileges in the metadata.

What to consider before installing

This skill appears to be a thin wrapper around an external real-estate data gateway, but it comes from an unknown source and omits authentication details. Before installing: 1) Ask the publisher for provenance and an official homepage or repository; verify the gateway domain (gateway.pipeworx.io) is legitimate and authorized to serve Altos data. 2) Confirm how the agent is expected to authenticate (API key, token) and ensure credentials are not implicitly assumed. 3) Restrict the skill's network access or test in a low-privilege environment first, and avoid installing on agents that have access to sensitive credentials. If you cannot verify the provider or authentication model, do not enable autonomous invocation or install the skill.
