What is kobiton-automate?

A connection to Kobiton, a service for testing mobile apps on remote devices. It lets you manage devices, run automated test suites, and view their results.

Use it to select and manage test devices, run mobile automation, and inspect test outcomes.

It avoids having to switch between your coding tools and Kobiton to start mobile tests or check their results.

Security

Grade A, and why

kobiton-automate scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

The scan reads gemini-extension.json. This mod also ships 13 executable files (scripts/build-tool-definitions.js, scripts/build-tool-definitions.test.js, scripts/install-cli.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
