Vast Ai

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a coherent VAST.ai GPU rental skill, but users should understand that renting instances can create ongoing paid usage.

Install only if you intend to let an agent use your VAST.ai account. Before approving rent, confirm the offer ID, hourly price, image, expected runtime, and how you will stop or destroy the instance to avoid continued billing.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Confidence: 95% confidence
Finding: The skill enables a billable `rent` operation that provisions GPU infrastructure and can continue accruing charges until the instance is stopped, but it does not present a clear upfront warning about this financial risk. Although the workflow includes a balance check and low-credit warning, those controls do not inform the user that approving a rental may create ongoing charges beyond the initial action.
