proxmox-aiops — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited proxmox-aiops (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

Governed VM and container lifecycle operations for Proxmox VE — 39 MCP tools, every one wrapped with the bundled @governed_tool harness: a local unified audit log under ~/.proxmox-aiops/, policy engine, token/runaway budget guard, undo-token recording, and graduated-autonomy risk tiers.
Standalone: the governance harness is bundled in the package (proxmox_aiops.governance) — proxmox-aiops has no external skill-family dependency. Preview: broad coverage of common Proxmox operations, not yet exhaustive.| Category | Tools | Count | Read or Write |

Harness features that light up: write tools with a clean inverse (vm_start/vm_stop/vm_shutdown/vm_reconfigure/vm_clone/vm_migrate/vm_snapshot_create/vm_move_disk/ct_start/ct_stop) pass an undo= lambda so the harness records an inverse descriptor (with _undo_id) to the undo store — vm_reconfigure captures the prior cores/memory, vm_clone's inverse is vm_delete(newid), vm_migrate's is migrate-back, vm_move_disk's is move-back to the captured source storage. backup_restore records a vm_delete inverse only when it restored into a free VMID (a forced overwrite is destructive and declares none). Irreversible writes (vm_delete, vm_snapshot_rollback, backup_restore with force) declare no undo and are tagged risk_level=high; vm_resize_disk is grow-only and refuses shrink before any API call. All 39 tools are audit-logged under ~/.proxmox-aiops/ and pass through the policy pre-check + budget/runaway guard + graduated risk-tier gate. Proxmox writes are async (return a task UPID) — poll with task_status (and read lines with task_log) instead of re-issuing (the runaway breaker backs this up).

Create ~/.proxmox-aiops/config.yaml with a targets: list (see README), and put secrets in ~/.proxmox-aiops/.env (chmod 600).
Each target needs a per-target secret env var. For target pve-lab, set PROXMOX_PVE_LAB_SECRET=<token-uuid> in .env.
For API-token auth (recommended, least privilege), user must include the token id after !, e.g. root@pam!claude. For password auth set auth_kind: password and use user@realm.
Either pass --node <name> / node=<name>, or set node: on the target in config.yaml. VM operations can auto-locate a vmid across nodes, but storage listing needs an explicit node.
All operations are automatically audited via the bundled @governed_tool decorator (proxmox_aiops.governance):
~/.proxmox-aiops/audit.db (local SQLite audit DB; relocate with PROXMOX_AIOPS_HOME)~/.proxmox-aiops/rules.yaml (deny rules, maintenance windows, risk tiers)The harness is bundled in the package — no external dependency, no manual setup.
