humanrail-escalation

humanrail-escalation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from automateyournetwork/netclaw. It costs 88 tokens per session (3,299 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A human-review service for uncertain agent decisions, risky operations, and unclear incident tickets. It sends a sanitized question to an external engineer and returns an answer only after verification.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to escalate ambiguous engineering decisions, obtain approval for risky operations, and resolve unclear incident cases without exposing secrets or personal data.
Why use it?
It gives an agent a way to pause when confidence is low or an action needs human judgment. It also adds a review step before potentially destructive work.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

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 →

  • high Privilege Escalation · line 55
    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.
  • medium Data Exfiltration · line 317
    Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.
    Fix: Verify the destination URL is trusted and necessary. Remove or replace with documented APIs. Ensure no secrets, tokens, or PII are transmitted.

Token cost

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

humanrail-escalation 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 9d 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.

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.

HumanRail Escalation

Safety — Non-Negotiable Rules

NEVER route tasks that expose internal tooling or infrastructure details to workers. HumanRail workers are external humans. Task descriptions must be neutral: describe the decision needed without referencing agent names, internal hostnames, file paths, or credentials. Frame the task as a domain question a knowledgeable engineer would answer — not as "an AI agent needs help."

NEVER use HumanRail as a substitute for ServiceNow Change Management. A HumanRail approval is an engineering judgment call, not a formal ITSM change record. Pre-destructive approvals via HumanRail are a second safety layer — the ServiceNow CR must still exist and be in Implement state before any config push.

NEVER expose PII, device credentials, or configuration secrets in task payloads. Sanitize payloads: use device roles ("core router") not hostnames, use interface descriptions not IP addresses where possible.

ALWAYS wait for verified status before acting. A task with status submitted has been answered by a worker but not yet verified. Only act on the output when status == "verified".

When to Use

Agent confidence low — multiple valid interpretations
Pre-destructive op beyond normal ITSM gating Required (both)
Ambiguous incident ticket needs triage Notify after

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.
