This is AgentSkillsHub's free basic audit: an automated rule-based scan covering SlowMist's 11 red-flag categories (credential exfiltration, obfuscated payloads, sandbox escape, prompt injection, and more) across 117,000+ open-source AI agent skills and MCP servers, refreshed every 8 hours. A SAFE grade is a scan result, not a guarantee — deep 5-dimension audits (code · credentials · vendor · supply-chain · operational) are available for enterprise. Audited: 2026-07-03.
