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 →

    Skill accesses MCP server configuration files (mcp.json). MCP configs contain server URLs, authentication tokens, and tool definitions — reading them allows the skill to discover and potentially abuse other tool integrations.
    Fix: Remove all code or instructions that read MCP configuration files (mcp.json). MCP server details should be managed by the agent runtime, not read by individual skills.

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

zapier-onboard 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 196 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Zapier onboard

Introduce Zapier MCP, get the user authenticated, then guide them through the appropriate setup flow.

For how the Zapier MCP server itself works, see docs.zapier.com/mcp.

Step 1: Introduction

Start by describing what Zapier MCP can do for the user, then get them authenticated.

Pitch

"Zapier MCP connects your AI assistant to 9,000+ apps — Slack, Gmail, Google Calendar, Jira, Notion, HubSpot, and thousands more. Once set up, you can search across your tools, take actions, and automate workflows, all through natural conversation. It's personalized to your workflow — you pick the apps and actions that matter to you, and your AI learns to use them."

Check connection

Check if any Zapier MCP tools are available:

  • Tools are available: The user is already authenticated. Give a shorter version of the pitch — "You've got Zapier MCP installed and connected. Let me check what you have set up." — then proceed to Step 2.

  • No Zapier tools available at all: The server is installed but needs authentication. First, attempt to authenticate directly in the chat by calling mcp_auth on the Zapier MCP server. If that succeeds, re-check available tools and proceed to Step 2.

    If mcp_auth fails or is unavailable, fall back to manual instructions based on their client:

    • In Cursor: "Let's get you connected. Go to Settings > Cursor Settings > Tools & MCP and click Connect next to the Zapier MCP server. You can also press Cmd+Shift+P and search for 'MCP' to get there quickly."
    • In Claude Desktop: "Let's get you connected. Go to Customize > Connectors > Zapier and click Connect."
    • In other clients: "Let's get you connected. Find the Zapier MCP server in your client's MCP settings and click Connect. This will redirect you to mcp.zapier.com to sign in."

    Detect which client is in use from the environment or conversation context. If unclear, give the generic instructions.

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.
