What security grade does bolt have?

bolt is graded SAFE by AgentSkillsHub's rule-based security scan (SlowMist 11 red-flag categories). Reviewed, no blocking issues found — reasonable for general use. Still confirm credential handling before production use.

Is bolt safe to install?

Security audit of puppetlabs/bolt · Agent Tool by puppetlabs · ★ 543

✓ SAFE Basic audit · rule-based scan · SlowMist 11 red-flag categories

Yes — bolt passed AgentSkillsHub's rule-based security scan with no dangerous patterns detected. As with any third-party skill, confirm what credentials it requests before production use.

What it is: Bolt is an open source orchestration tool that automates the manual work it takes to maintain your infrastructure on an as-needed basis or as part of a greater orchestration workflow. It can be installed on your local workstation and connects directly to remote nodes with SSH or WinRM, so you are not required to install any agent software.

No dangerous patterns were detected: no credential exfiltration, no obfuscated downloads, no sandbox-escape attempts, no prompt-injection markers.

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.
