Scan Specific Skill

Scan a specific MCP skill by npm package name or GitHub URL.

Input

$ARGUMENTS — npm package name (e.g. mcp-server-filesystem) or GitHub URL

Steps

  1. If argument is a GitHub URL, extract the npm package name from package.json
  2. Run single-package audit:
cd /Users/user/Downloads/agent-threat-rules && npx tsx scripts/audit-npm-skills-v2.ts --limit 1 --offset 0 --output "data/scan-single-$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S).json"

Note: For single package scanning, we need to create a temporary registry entry. Instead:

cd /Users/user/Downloads/agent-threat-rules
mkdir -p /tmp/atr-single-scan
npm pack $ARGUMENTS --pack-destination /tmp/atr-single-scan 2>/dev/null
  1. If the package downloads successfully, run the ATR engine against it
  2. Present findings using the "Plain Language Consequences" template (T3):
    • What the skill claims to do
    • What it actually does (each finding in plain language)
    • What consequences the user faces
    • ATR rules triggered
  3. If CRITICAL or HIGH:
    • Generate a Skills Sec post draft using templates from templates/post-templates.json
    • Ask: "Post this? Which platforms?"
  4. If CLEAN:
    • Report clean status
    • Ask if I want to add to whitelist
