Date Tool

Display and format date and time values from the command line. Use when you need to get the current date, format timestamps, or calculate date differences.

Security Scan

The skill is a small, local date-formatting utility whose code matches a simple formatting use-case; it slightly overstates its capabilities in the documentation but does not request credentials, perform network I/O, or exhibit other risky behavior.

Purpose & Capability

The name/description claim formatting, timezone conversion, parsing, and date arithmetic. The included script (scripts/date.py) only prints the current local datetime formatted via a user-provided strftime string. That is coherent with basic formatting but the skill overpromises features it does not implement.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md examples and usage match invoking a date formatter (date-tool + format). However the docs mention timezone conversion, parsing, and difference calculations that the runtime instructions/code do not perform — the instructions are otherwise limited to formatting the current time and do not access files, env vars, or external endpoints.

Install Mechanism

No install spec is provided (instruction-only with a small included script). Nothing is downloaded or written to disk by an installer; risk from installation is minimal.

Credentials

The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths and the code does not read env vars or credentials. Required access is minimal and proportional.

Persistence & Privilege

No elevated privileges are requested. always is false; the skill does not modify other skills or system settings and does not persist credentials.

Assessment

This is a small, local date-formatting script with no network calls or credential requests — low risk. Note that the README/description overstates features (timezones, parsing, arithmetic) that the bundled script does not implement; if you need those features, request clarification or look for a skill/tool that explicitly implements them. As always, only install skills from sources you trust; you can open the scripts/date.py file yourself to verify it matches what you expect before enabling the skill.
