AA huawei-cloud-ascend-command
Huawei Ascend NPU natural language management skill, supporting both local direct connection and SSH remote modes. Provides comprehensive npu-smi command capabilities including device queries, configuration management, firmware upgrade, vNPU virtualization, certificate management, and compute power testing (FLOPS). Enables remote management and monitoring of Ascend NPU devices with real-time metrics tracking. Use this skill when the user wants to: (1) query NPU device status and health, (2) monitor temperature, power, memory/HBM utilization, (3) configure ECC settings and fan modes, (4) perform firmware upgrades, (5) manage vNPU virtualization, (6) run compute power tests, (7) check certificate information. Trigger: user mentionsnpu', 'ascend', 'NPU', 'Ascend', 'temperature', 'power', 'HBM', 'firmware', 'upgrade', 'vNPU', 'virtualization', 'certificate', 'FLOPS', 'compute', 'health', 'memory', 'utilization', 'ECC', 'fan', '昇腾', '昇腾卡', '昇腾状态', '显存', '算力', '设备查询', 'NPU监控'"

What is at stake
Medium-severity findings: the skill is probably honest, but read what alarmed the scanner.
Below is the worst case for this category. The finding here is medium: the guard saw a sign, not a proof.
The skill asks for more than the task needs: broad tool access, credential environment variables, binaries. Every extra permission widens the damage from a mistake or a compromise.
Narrow allowed-tools and the variable list to the minimum; replace binaries with readable sources or scripts.
How to improve
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
