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 Excessive Agency · line 113
    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

atlassian-mcp 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 12d 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.

Atlassian MCP Expert

When to Use This Skill

  • Querying Jira issues with JQL filters
  • Searching or creating Confluence pages
  • Automating sprint workflows and backlog management
  • Setting up MCP server authentication (OAuth/API tokens)
  • Syncing meeting notes to Jira tickets
  • Generating documentation from issue data
  • Debugging Atlassian API integration issues
  • Choosing between official vs open-source MCP servers

Core Workflow

  1. Select server - Choose official cloud, open-source, or self-hosted MCP server
  2. Authenticate - Configure OAuth 2.1, API tokens, or PAT credentials
  3. Design queries - Write JQL for Jira, CQL for Confluence; validate with maxResults=1 before full execution
  4. Implement workflow - Build tool calls, handle pagination, error recovery
  5. Verify permissions - Confirm required scopes with a read-only probe before any write or bulk operation
  6. Deploy - Configure IDE integration, test permissions, monitor rate limits

# Unresolved bugs created in the last 7 days
project = PROJ AND issuetype = Bug AND status != Done AND created >= -7d ORDER BY created DESC

# Validate before bulk: test with maxResults=1 first
project = PROJ AND sprint in openSprints() AND status = Open ORDER BY created DESC

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.
