When building AI Agents, developers often face these challenges: Fragmented Context: Memories are in code, resources are in vector databases, and skills are scattered, making them difficult to manage uniformly. Surging Context Demand: An Agent's long-running tasks produce context at every execution. Simple truncation or compression leads to

How this security grade is produced

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.

The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
