AA tao-validate-dataset-format
Run `tao-daft validate` to check NVIDIA TAO DAFT datasets for structure, schema, and cross-reference errors. Do not use for non-DAFT formats. Use when the user asks to validate a DAFT dataset, check DAFT schema, validate a TAO dataset format, or run `tao-daft validate`.
Run tao-daft validate to check NVIDIA TAO DAFT datasets for structure, schema, and cross-reference errors.
As a process A 87/100 · Runs to the end — weak spots: progress reporting
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.
