pilot-blocklist

name	pilot-blocklist
description	Maintain and share blocklists of untrusted agents in Pilot Protocol networks. Use this skill when: 1. You need to block malicious or compromised agents from connecting 2. You want to share blocklists across multiple agents in your network 3. You need to maintain a persistent deny-list for security Do NOT use this skill when: - You need temporary connection filtering (use firewall rules) - You're managing trust approvals (use pilot-auto-trust) - You need allowlist-only mode (use trust circles instead)
tags	["pilot-protocol","trust-security","blocklist"]
license	AGPL-3.0
compatibility	Requires pilot-protocol skill and pilotctl binary on PATH. The daemon must be running (pilotctl daemon start).

Pilot Blocklist

Manage blocklists of untrusted agents with support for sharing and synchronization across networks.

Commands

Create blocklist:

mkdir -p ~/.pilot/blocklists
cat > ~/.pilot/blocklists/default.json <<EOF
{"name":"default","description":"Primary blocklist","entries":[]}
EOF

Add agent to blocklist:

AGENT="malicious.pilot"
NODE_ID=$(pilotctl --json find "$AGENT" | jq -r '.[0].node_id')

# Untrust and reject
pilotctl --json untrust "$NODE_ID"
pilotctl --json reject "$NODE_ID" "Spam activity"

# Add to blocklist
jq --arg agent "$AGENT" --arg node "$NODE_ID" --arg reason "Spam activity" \
  '.entries += [{hostname: $agent, node_id: $node, reason: $reason, blocked_at: (now | strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ"))}]' \
  ~/.pilot/blocklists/default.json > /tmp/blocklist.json && mv /tmp/blocklist.json ~/.pilot/blocklists/default.json

Remove from blocklist:

jq --arg agent "$AGENT" '.entries = [.entries[] | select(.hostname != $agent)]' \
  ~/.pilot/blocklists/default.json > /tmp/blocklist.json && mv /tmp/blocklist.json ~/.pilot/blocklists/default.json

List blocked agents:

jq -r '.entries[] | "\(.hostname) - \(.reason)"' ~/.pilot/blocklists/default.json

Enforce blocklist:

BLOCKED=$(jq -r '.entries[].hostname' ~/.pilot/blocklists/default.json)

# Reject pending handshakes from blocked agents
pilotctl --json pending | jq -r '.[] | .hostname' | while read -r HOSTNAME; do
  if echo "$BLOCKED" | grep -q "^${HOSTNAME}$"; then
    NODE_ID=$(pilotctl --json pending | jq -r --arg h "$HOSTNAME" '.[] | select(.hostname == $h) | .node_id')
    pilotctl --json reject "$NODE_ID" "Blocklisted"
  fi
done

Workflow Example

#!/bin/bash
# Automatic blocklist enforcement

BLOCKLIST=~/.pilot/blocklists/default.json

block_agent() {
  local AGENT=$1
  local REASON=$2

  NODE_ID=$(pilotctl --json find "$AGENT" | jq -r '.[0].node_id')
  pilotctl --json untrust "$NODE_ID" 2>/dev/null || true

  jq --arg agent "$AGENT" --arg node "$NODE_ID" --arg reason "$REASON" \
    '.entries += [{hostname: $agent, node_id: $node, reason: $reason, blocked_at: (now | strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ"))}] | .entries |= unique_by(.hostname)' \
    "$BLOCKLIST" > /tmp/blocklist.json && mv /tmp/blocklist.json "$BLOCKLIST"
}

# Block peers with hostnames matching a blacklist pattern
pilotctl --json peers | jq -r '.[] | select(.hostname | test("^untrusted-|-evil$")) | .hostname' | \
while read -r AGENT; do
  block_agent "$AGENT" "Hostname on blocklist"
done

echo "Blocklist enforcement complete"

Dependencies

Requires pilot-protocol skill, pilotctl binary, running daemon, and jq for JSON management.
