context safety score
A score of 28/100 indicates multiple risk signals were detected. This entity shows patterns commonly associated with malicious intent.

typosquat
Skill named 'smithery-ai-cli' impersonates Smithery (smithery.ai), a well-known MCP server registry. The skill has 0 stars, 0 forks, 0 contributors, no license, unverified owner, unknown account age, empty owner/repo fields, and is not listed on any registry — all inconsistent with a legitimate Smithery product. The 7.69M install count is not credible given these signals. (location: metadata.json: skill_name, stars, forks, contributors, owner, repo, listed_on_registry)
scope violation
The skill_description field contains 'width=device-width, initial-scale=1' — an HTML meta viewport attribute, not a legitimate skill description. This indicates the metadata was either scraped from an HTML page or deliberately set to nonsensical content. SKILL.md is completely empty (0 lines), meaning this skill defines no tools or capabilities whatsoever. A skill with no content and a garbage description that claims 7.69M installs is deceptive. (location: metadata.json: skill_description, SKILL.md (empty))

smithery/ai/smithery-ai-cli currently scores 28/100 with a suspicious verdict and low 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Assessments are automated and may contain errors. Findings are risk indicators, not confirmed threats. This is a point-in-time assessment; security posture can change.
