typosquat

Skill is named 'pydantic' — the exact name of the extremely popular Python data validation library (pydantic/pydantic, 20k+ GitHub stars, tens of millions of PyPI downloads). This skill comes from 'bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills', an unverified personal account with only 15 stars and 2 contributors. The skill_description field contains 'width=device-width, initial-scale=1' (an HTML viewport meta tag value, not a real description), and SKILL.md is completely empty. This name squats on a well-known project name with no substantive content. (location: metadata.json:skill_name)

medium

scope violation

SKILL.md is entirely empty (0 lines) while the skill claims the name 'pydantic'. A skill with no documented capabilities, no tool definitions, and a garbage skill_description ('width=device-width, initial-scale=1' — an HTML meta tag, not a description) cannot be assessed for what it actually does. The absence of any skill definition in a published skill is itself suspicious, as it provides no transparency into what an agent would be instructed to do. (location: SKILL.md)

FAQ: how to interpret this assessment

Common questions teams ask before deciding whether to use this skill in agent workflows.

Is bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills/pydantic safe for AI agents to use?

bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills/pydantic currently scores 47/100 with a suspicious verdict and medium confidence. The goal is to protect agents from high-risk context before they act on it. Treat this as a decision signal: higher scores suggest lower observed risk, while lower scores mean you should add review or block this skill.

How should I interpret the score and verdict?

Use the score as a policy threshold: 80–100 is safe, 50–79 is caution, 20–49 is suspicious, and 0–19 is dangerous. Teams often auto-allow safe, require human review for caution/suspicious, and block dangerous.

How does brin compute this skill score?

brin evaluates four dimensions: identity (source trust), behavior (runtime patterns), content (malicious instructions), and graph (relationship risk). Analysis runs in tiers: static signals, deterministic pattern checks, then AI semantic analysis when needed.

What do identity, behavior, content, and graph mean for this skill?

Identity checks source trust, behavior checks unusual runtime patterns, content checks for malicious instructions, and graph checks risky relationships to other entities. Looking at sub-scores helps you understand why an entity passed or failed.

Why does brin scan packages, repos, skills, MCP servers, pages, and commits?

brin performs risk assessments on external context before it reaches an AI agent. It scores that context for threats like prompt injection, hijacking, credential harvesting, and supply chain attacks, so teams can decide whether to block, review, or proceed safely.

Can I rely on a safe verdict as a full security guarantee?

No. A safe verdict means no significant risk signals were detected in this scan. It is not a formal guarantee; assessments are automated and point-in-time, so combine scores with your own controls and periodic re-checks.

When should I re-check before using an entity?

Re-check before high-impact actions such as installs, upgrades, connecting MCP servers, executing remote code, or granting secrets. Use the API in CI or runtime gates so decisions are based on the latest scan.
