FF nevermined-payments

Use when an AI agent must operate on Nevermined autonomously — purchase a payment plan via the x402 protocol (crypto or card), enroll a card and create a spending delegation, obtain a Nevermined API key, register a payment plan or AI agent, or check its credits (as a buyer) or revenue (as a seller) — and when adding x402 payment protection to a TypeScript or Python agent (Express, FastAPI, MCP, Google A2A, Strands). Covers the @nevermined-io/payments and payments-py SDKs and the Nevermined REST API.

What is at stake

Medium-severity findings: the skill is probably honest, but read what alarmed the scanner.

Exfiltration medium severity

Below is the worst case for this category. The finding here is medium: the guard saw a sign, not a proof.

If you install

The instructions or scripts send data out: environment variables, keys, file contents, chat history. You may never notice, because the agent performs the upload as "part of the task".

For the author

If the upload is not needed for the task, remove it: catalogs flag such skills and delist them. If it is needed, name the destination explicitly, say what leaves the machine, and give the user a switch.

How to improve

  1. The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
  2. The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
For the model run — optional
  • 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.

Quality signals

  • +5Description has no quoted example phrases that should trigger the skill
  • +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
  • +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
  • -2localhost URLs: will not work for another user
  • +1No license
  • +2Single-language instructions
  • +3Description length 504: enough signal without eating the budget
  • +4Structure: 47 headings
  • +3Step-by-step instructions: 61 items
  • +4Has examples (34 code blocks)
  • +4Reference files are cited in the instructions (11 of 12)

Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 66.

External checks

ClawHub: suspicious
The skill is a coherent payments integration guide, but it asks agents to refresh security-sensitive payment instructions from a mutable remote source and uses some under-scoped credential-handling patterns.
