Our Take

Skill Inspector is honestly the kind of tool that makes you wonder why it took so long to exist. Snyk, the same company that's been catching vulnerabilities in code since 2016, is now pointing that same energy at AI skills—which are basically these black boxes most teams are deploying without any real visibility into what they can access or do. The tool scans skill definitions, flags permissions that are too broad, and catches behavior patterns that could leak data or cause chaos in production, which is exactly the kind of thing that keeps security folks up at night when everyone's rushing to ship AI features. It's free, which makes it an easy win for anyone building copilots or AI agents and pretending they actually know what their skills are getting up to.

Skill Inspector helps you analyze and understand the capabilities, risks, and behaviors of AI skills before they reach production. It inspects how skills are defined, what tools and permissions they rely on, and how they behave across different scenarios.

Problem It Solves
Developers and security teams don't know what AI skills are capable of - what tools or data they can access, what they really do under the hood. Most teams operate on trust, not visibility, which creates security risks, data leakage, or unintended actions.
Target Customer
Developers building copilots or AI-powered apps, security teams reviewing AI skills before production deployment
Use Cases
Validate AI skills before production deployment, Review skill capabilities and permissions, Ensure AI does exactly what you expect, Ship AI safely without surprises
Free Tier
true
Differentiator
First tool to make AI skills transparent - breaks open the black box to analyze definitions, instructions, and tool usage
Why Now
AI apps are increasingly powered by skills - reusable units that define what an AI can do, what tools it can access, and how it behaves. As teams build and share more skills, there's no visibility into their capabilities, creating a new security gap.
