Security Disclaimer
The safety reports and verdicts displayed on SkillPilot represent static analysis and partner audit results as of the current database edition.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a trust-checked verdict mean?
A trust-checked verdict indicates that the tool has passed basic static analysis criteria and has no open critical alerts from partner audits or scanning software.
How often are these security scans performed?
Security scans and audit logs are updated daily in our database snapshots to reflect active changes and newly disclosed vulnerabilities.
Why should I sandbox MCP servers?
MCP servers execute with the same privileges as your local IDE or CLI assistant. Sandboxing prevents unauthorized operations like reading private SSH keys or deleting files.
How do I report a security issue for a tool?
You should report vulnerabilities directly to the project's repository maintainers. The findings displayed here are compiled from public repositories and partner audits.
