exposed-service-triage

exposed-service-triage is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Stijnman/grok-custom-skills. It costs 34 tokens per session (537 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only process for investigating TCP ports that security checks report as exposed. A TCP listener is a program waiting for network connections.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect open ports, map them to processes, classify the services, and recommend binding them locally, disabling them, or adding firewall rules.
Why use it?
It identifies which processes are listening and explains the risk before suggesting changes, without stopping services automatically.

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

exposed-service-triage 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 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.

Asks for rootlowPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

| Cannot identify process | Report port and binding; suggest sudo ss -tlnp with user consent. |

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

What it actually says

Exposed Service Triage

When to Use

  • User says exposed port or task matches this capability
  • User says what is listening or task matches this capability
  • User says fix exposed service or task matches this capability
  • User says open port or task matches this capability

Workflow

  1. Run read-only listener inventory (ss -tln, fuser) on user machine.
  2. Map ports to processes; classify MCP-related vs system vs unknown.
  3. Present findings table with risk tier and plain-language explanation.
  4. Recommend: bind 127.0.0.1, disable service, or firewall rule.
  5. Before stopping/disabling any service: hitl-approver required.
  6. Never run aggressive remote scans or attack exposed services.

Integrations

  • defensive-mcp-audit
  • hitl-approver

Error Handling

Failure Response
Cannot identify process Report port and binding; suggest sudo ss -tlnp with user consent.
User requests aggressive scan Decline; offer defensive audit only.

Gotchas

  • Common OS services on 0.0.0.0 may be intentional; explain before recommending disable.

Safety & Ethics (Publication-Ready)

This skill is designed for public distribution. Constraints:

  • Read-only discovery first; service changes only after HITL approval.
  • No denial-of-service, exploitation, or unauthorized access attempts.
  • Remediation is documented steps for the user or admin to apply.

Prohibited actions

  • No unauthorized access, malware, or harmful automation
  • No silent exfiltration of data, credentials, or telemetry
  • No destructive system changes without hitl-approver
  • No publication of user PII or environment secrets in outputs

Example

Input: User request matching triggers above. Output: Structured result per workflow; local artifacts only unless user opts in.

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.

exposed-service-triage is a skill published in the GitHub repository Stijnman/grok-custom-skills (9 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 537 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
