SkillsSafe — AI Skill Security Scanner
Free, no-signup security scanner for AI agent skills.Scan any SKILL.md, MCP config, or system_prompt for threats before installing.
What Is SkillsSafe?
As AI agents become more powerful, malicious skills can steal credentials, exfiltrate data, or hijack your agent's behavior. SkillsSafe scans skill files before you install them — the same way an antivirus scans software before you run it.
Supported platforms: OpenClaw · Claude Code · Cursor · Codex · any MCP-compatible agent
Features
🔍 Security Scanner
Paste content, enter a URL, or upload a file to scan for:
| Threat | Description |
|---|---|
| Credential Theft | Attempts to access API keys, tokens, or passwords |
| Data Exfiltration | Skills that send your data to external servers |
| Prompt Injection | Hidden instructions that hijack agent behavior |
| Shell Injection | Reverse shell or arbitrary command execution |
| Zero-Width Characters | Invisible Unicode characters hiding malicious instructions |
| Scope Creep | Skills requesting permissions beyond their stated purpose |
| Memory Poisoning | Attempts to corrupt agent memory or context |
| Privacy Risk | Unnecessary access to personal or sensitive data |
Each scan returns a risk score, severity rating (SAFE / CAUTION / DANGER / CRITICAL), and a shareable report link.
👁️ Zero-Width Character Detector
Visualize invisible Unicode characters (U+200B, U+200C, U+200D, U+FEFF, etc.) hidden inside text. Attackers embed these to create prompts that look safe to humans but carry hidden instructions for AI agents.
🔌 MCP Server Integration
Native Model Context Protocol support — let your agent automatically check skill safety before installation. No API key required.
