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 →

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

pyats-health-check 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 270 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Device Health Check

When to Use

  • Proactive daily/weekly health monitoring
  • Pre-change and post-change validation
  • Incident response — first thing you run when alerted
  • Capacity planning and trending
  • Compliance checks for operational readiness

Health Check Procedure

Always run health checks in this exact order. Each section builds on the previous one.

Step 1: Device Identity & Uptime

Run show version to establish baseline identity.

PYATS_TESTBED_PATH=$PYATS_TESTBED_PATH python3 $MCP_CALL "${PYATS_PYTHON:-python3} -u $PYATS_MCP_SCRIPT" pyats_run_show_command '{"device_name":"R1","command":"show version"}'

Extract and report:

  • Hostname, model, serial number
  • IOS-XE version and image filename
  • Uptime (flag if < 24 hours — indicates recent reload)
  • Last reload reason (flag if unexpected: crash, power failure)
  • Total/available memory
  • License status

Thresholds:

  • Uptime < 24h → WARNING: Recent reload
  • Uptime < 1h → CRITICAL: Very recent reload, check for crash
  • Last reload reason contains "crash" or "error" → CRITICAL

Step 2: CPU Utilization

PYATS_TESTBED_PATH=$PYATS_TESTBED_PATH python3 $MCP_CALL "${PYATS_PYTHON:-python3} -u $PYATS_MCP_SCRIPT" pyats_run_show_command '{"device_name":"R1","command":"show processes cpu sorted"}'

Thresholds (5-second / 1-minute / 5-minute averages):

  • < 50% → HEALTHY
  • 50-75% → WARNING: Elevated CPU
  • 75-90% → HIGH: Investigate top processes
  • 90% → CRITICAL: Immediate investigation required

Top processes to watch:

  • IP Input — high traffic volume or routing loops
  • BGP Router / BGP I/O — large BGP table or instability
  • OSPF-1 Hello — OSPF adjacency issues
  • Crypto IKMP / Crypto Engine — IPsec overhead
  • SNMP ENGINE — polling storm
  • ARP Input — ARP storm or L2 loop

Step 3: Memory Utilization

PYATS_TESTBED_PATH=$PYATS_TESTBED_PATH python3 $MCP_CALL "${PYATS_PYTHON:-python3} -u $PYATS_MCP_SCRIPT" pyats_run_show_command '{"device_name":"R1","command":"show processes memory sorted"}'

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.
