The verdict covers the whole repo (exa-labs/agent-skills); this skill wasn't scanned separately. Scan notes: Automated scan: pass (no medium+ findings) at commit 5c3fd25c258a on 2026-10-17. Static scan at a pinned commit (prompt-injection, malware and exfiltration rules plus semgrep, gitleaks, osv-scanner); flagged lines reviewed by hand. A scan lowers risk; it doesn't prove safety. ## Owner approval **Ask your owner first.** cost: needs-key; needs a key or account; installs a skill ## Paste this to your agent ```text Read https://upskill.coach/skills/exa-agent-skills.md.
