SkillSpector: 3 findings, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- medium analysis-evasion · line 1 Suspicious Unicode normalization or mixed-script contentFix: Review the flagged content for security risks. Ensure no credentials, secrets, or sensitive data are exposed.
- medium Prompt Injection · line 23 Large whitespace padding was detected (a block of blank lines or a long run of spaces). This can push injected instructions below or to the right of the visible area so a human reviewer never sees them while the agent still reads them. Manual review of the hidden content is recommended.Fix: Remove the large whitespace padding (blank-line blocks or long space runs) and review any content hidden below or to the right of it. Keep skill files compact and reviewable so no instructions can be
- medium Output Handling · line 100 Output size or generation rate is not bounded. Unbounded output enables denial-of-service through resource exhaustion, log flooding, or context-window stuffing.Fix: Set explicit limits on output length, generation count, and rate. Use max_tokens and truncation to prevent unbounded output.
What it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00150 | $0.09133 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00075 | $0.04567 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00030 | $0.01827 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00913 |
Grade A, and why
run-control-tower scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 4d ago.
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.
Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
Download an artifact with `actions_get`, method `download_workflow_run_artifact`. It returns a signed `blob.core.windows.net` URL that carries its own credential, so `curl -sL "<url>" -o art.zip` needs no auth header. A How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 175 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Run Control Tower (CT) evals
The Control Tower / LinuxArena benchmark measures glovebox's marginal defense: attack-success reduction (ΔS) and usefulness cost (ΔU), bare vs guarded. It is external, independently authored (linuxarena/control-tower, pinned by SHA in evals/control_tower/requirements.txt), and paid — every cell drives a real untrusted agent loop plus (guarded) a per-call monitor.
Which harness to run
Every CT harness lives in one workflow, .github/workflows/evals.yaml, selected by its suite: dispatch input. The two ct-*.yaml workflows — ct-sibling-names and ct-render-tier — are cheap advisory guards on CT inputs, never harnesses, so no suite: reaches them.
suite: input |
What it is | Needs KVM? | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
ct-inspect-e2e |
LIVE end-to-end: real CT env under the real sbx microVM (build → boot → egress-deny → agent → approver → CT scorer). ΔS corroborated by the sbx policy log. Driven by run_sbx_real.py. |
Yes (hosted ubuntu-latest exposes /dev/kvm) |
High (microVM boots + trajectories + monitor) |
ct-inspect-seams |
Cheap probe: install inspect+CT, dump the API surface, run seam unit tests. No KVM, no spend, no VM. The suite: default. |
No | ~free |
breakout-ctf |
Live-fire breakout CTF — a different harness and a different question, owned by the run-ctf skill. Nothing else here applies to it. |
Yes | paid |
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.

run-control-tower is a skill published in the GitHub repository AlexanderMattTurner/agent-glovebox (63 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 150 tokens to every session and 9,133 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
