Install only if you intend to perform authorized security assessment. Before using it, confirm the target, scope, and permission, and avoid public or third-party systems unless you have explicit written approval.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The description contains broad activation phrases such as 'scan [target]', 'port scan', 'nmap', 'recon', and 'what ports are open', which can cause the skill to trigger in many loosely related contexts. Because this skill performs active network reconnaissance with a security tool, overbroad routing increases the chance of unintended use against arbitrary targets or accidental invocation during general security discussions.
