azure-reliability
Verdict safe, but 1 finding (1 medium), mainly data exfiltration. Most recent scan 2026-10-22.
Second scanner: NVIDIA SkillSpector
Independent static run, no language model, over the same files as the Cisco scan above. How the two scanners compare across the whole corpus: Two scanners, one corpus.
What this skill does
Assess and improve the reliability posture of PaaS Applications (Azure Functions and Azure App Service). Scans deployed resources for zone redundancy, ZRS storage, health probes, and multi-region failover. Presents a feature-pivoted checklist, then drives staged remediation (CLI or IaC patches) end-to-end with user confirmation. WHEN: \"assess reliability\", \"check reliability\", \"zone redundant\", \"multi-region failover\", \"high availability\", \"disaster recovery\", \"single points of failure\", \"reliability posture\", \"resiliency\".

Package contents recorded 2026-10-22 at commit f49ac319a7d3. The scan above ran against the version current at scan time; the two can differ if the skill has since been updated.
What we checked
- Static analyzer. Pattern rules over SKILL.md and bundled files: known-bad commands, exfiltration URLs, secrets, obfuscation.
- Bytecode analyzer.
- Pipeline analyzer.
- Correlation analyzer.
- Behavioral analyzer. Checks what the skill asks the agent to do against what its description claims it does.
- Trigger analyzer. Looks for instructions that fire on conditions the user did not ask for.
What we did not check
- Runtime behaviour. The skill was not executed; findings come from reading its files.
- Anything fetched at install or run time, including remote scripts, package dependencies, and URLs the skill tells the agent to open.
- Content the analyzers cannot read: images, binaries, and some non-English text.
- Known scanner bypass classes. See the methodology and limitations page.
