description	Scan AI agent skills for malware, credential theft, prompt injection, and dangerous permissions before installing them

AURA Security Scanner

Protect your AI agent from malicious skills. Scan any OpenClaw, Claude MCP, or LangChain skill before installation.

What It Detects

• Malware Patterns - Credential theft, file exfiltration, crypto miners, backdoors
• Prompt Injection - Attempts to override system instructions or jailbreak agents
• Permission Issues - Overly broad filesystem, network, or execution permissions
• Suspicious Networks - Connections to known exfiltration domains (webhook.site, etc.)
• Obfuscated Code - Base64/hex encoded execution, dynamic eval patterns

Usage

Ask me to scan a skill before you install it:

"Scan this skill for security issues: https://github.com/user/cool-skill"

"Is this skill safe? https://github.com/example/mcp-tool"

"Check https://clawhub.xyz/skill/weather-api for malware"

Verdicts

Verdict	Risk Score	Meaning
SAFE	0-20	No issues found, safe to install
WARNING	21-50	Minor concerns, review before installing
DANGEROUS	51-80	Significant risks detected, avoid
BLOCKED	81-100	Critical threats, do not install

AURA Verified Badge

Skills with a SAFE verdict can display the AURA Verified badge, showing users they've been scanned and approved.
