ssh-agentd-control

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is understandable and not malware-like, but it gives an agent persistent SSH service control and remote-command capability with limited guardrails.

Install only if you intentionally use this exact local ssh-agentd setup. Verify the daemon, systemd unit, hosts.yaml, token handling, and localhost binding first, and require explicit approval before enabling autostart, restarting/stopping the service, or using /run to execute remote commands.
