Curl Tool

Transfer data using HTTP, HTTPS, FTP protocols. Test APIs and download files.

Security Scan

The skill's code, instructions, and requirements are coherent with a simple HTTP client (curl-like) and do not request unrelated credentials or install artifacts.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description (HTTP/HTTPS/FTP transfers, API testing, downloads) matches the provided CLI examples and the included Python script, which implements GET/POST, headers, basic auth, downloads, and redirect-following via urllib. No unrelated binaries, env vars, or config paths are requested.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md gives straightforward usage examples and does not instruct the agent to read unrelated files, environment variables, or send data to any endpoints beyond those provided by the user. The runtime behavior (make HTTP requests and optionally save responses to a file) aligns with the documentation.

Install Mechanism

This is listed as instruction-only (no install spec) but includes a Python script file. There's no installer or packaging provided — the agent/platform will need to know how to run that script. This is not inherently malicious, but you should confirm how the skill will be executed (embedded, copied to disk, or run directly) before trusting it.

Credentials

The skill requires no environment variables or credentials. The script supports Basic auth provided on the CLI (user:password) which is proportional to its purpose. It does not attempt to access other secrets or configs.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not request elevated or persistent privileges. The skill does not modify other skills or system-wide config. Autonomous invocation is permitted by default (disable-model-invocation is false) which is typical for skills and not by itself a concern here.

Assessment

This skill appears to be a simple curl-like client implemented in Python and is internally consistent. Before installing, confirm how the platform will execute the included script (it has no install step), and be aware it will make arbitrary network requests and can write files when you use the -o option. Avoid passing secrets on the command line (they can be exposed in process lists or logs) and review the script yourself or run it in a sandbox if you need higher assurance.
