BF vmware-monitor

Use this skill for safe, read-only queries of VMware infrastructure — no destructive operations exist in the codebase; a test enforces it. Directly handles: a one-glance cross-cluster health summary, object-centered VM/host/datastore investigation drill-downs (correlating surrounding infrastructure + recent events), a cross-vCenter "what needs attention now?" rollup, list VMs/hosts/datastores/clusters, active alarms, recent events, VM details. Always use vmware-monitor when the user asks to "list VMs", "check vSphere alarms", "show host status", "is anything on fire", "what needs attention now", "what is happening around this VM/host/datastore", "investigate this VM" — or needs read-only VMware info before making changes. Do NOT use for any write operations — this skill is read-only and has no code path that creates, modifies, or deletes a vSphere resource. For VM modifications use vmware-aiops, for networking use vmware-nsx, for metrics/capacity use vmware-aria. For load balancing/AVI/AKO use vmware-avi.

What is at stake

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

Broad scope 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 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.

For the author

Narrow allowed-tools and the variable list to the minimum; replace binaries with readable sources or scripts.

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
  • A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

  • medium 3 test cases, all positive: not one "should refuse" or "should ask first"

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.
