Embeddedci Python — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited Embeddedci Python (Agent Skill) and scored it 82/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 2 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

Python packages for driving an EmbeddedCI BenchPod — a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) tester that powers a target board, flashes it over SWD, talks to its UART, I2C and CAN, and drives and measures its analog and logic signals — from pytest, from an AI agent, or from OpenHTF.
| Package | Path | What it is |
|---|---|---|
embeddedci | packages/embeddedci/ | The BenchPod SDK and pytest plugin: from embeddedci.benchpod import BenchPod. Connects over the network, USB or the cloud (embeddedci:<device-name>, with an API key or GitHub Actions OIDC). |
embeddedci-mcp | packages/embeddedci-mcp/ | An MCP server exposing the SDK as typed tools, so AI agents can drive the bench. |
embeddedci-openhtf | packages/embeddedci-openhtf/ | An OpenHTF plug and phase helpers for driving a pod directly over TCP or serial. |
The dependency direction is strictly `embeddedci-mcp` → `embeddedci` and `embeddedci-openhtf` → `embeddedci`. All three live here so an SDK change and the matching wrapper land in one commit; each is published to PyPI on its own tag.
All three packages are on the 2.x line, the first with a stability promise:
embeddedci: everything in embeddedci.benchpod.__all__ follows semantic versioning. Units arevolts, seconds and hertz; invalid arguments raise ValueError; device state comes back typed. tests/api_surface.json snapshots the public surface.
embeddedci-mcp: tool names, input schemas and annotations are frozen for 2.x(tests/tools_surface.json).
embeddedci>=2.0,<3.The surface snapshot tests fail on any change. When a change is intended and compatible (an addition), refresh them deliberately:
UPDATE_API_SURFACE=1 pytest packages/embeddedci/tests/test_api_surface.py
UPDATE_TOOLS_SURFACE=1 pytest packages/embeddedci-mcp/tests/test_server_runtime.py -k surfaceThe public names are also checked against the documentation: tests/test_docs_coverage.py in embeddedci and embeddedci-openhtf fails when an exported name, a pytest plugin option, fixture, marker or BENCHPOD_* variable, or an OpenHTF plug attribute is missing from the package README. Document a new name in the same change (the embeddedci README has an API reference section for that), or add it to the test's allowlist with the reason.
Migration notes: embeddedci, embeddedci-mcp, embeddedci-openhtf.

Each package publishes from its own tag (embeddedci-v*, embeddedci-mcp-v*, embeddedci-openhtf-v*) via .github/workflows/publish.yml; the tag must match the version in that package's pyproject.toml. Release embeddedci first — the other two depend on it from PyPI. The workflow enforces the version match (scripts/check_release_tag.py) and runs the full CI suite before anything is uploaded. An embeddedci-mcp-v* tag also publishes server.json to the MCP Registry, so its two version fields have to match too.
packages/embeddedci-py39-shim is published into the same PyPI project as embeddedci 0.2.4, from the embeddedci-py39-shim-v* tag. It exists because 2.x requires Python 3.10+: on 3.9 pip skips 2.x and would otherwise resolve to the last 3.9-compatible release (0.2.3), silently handing the user a pre-2.0 API. Yanking the 0.x releases does not fix that — pip's install path passes allow_yanked=True and only deprioritises yanked candidates, so when they are the only candidates it installs one anyway. The placeholder pins requires-python = ">=3.9,<3.10", so on 3.9 it is the newest installable version and its import fails with an actionable message, while 3.10+ resolution is untouched.
It is excluded from the uv workspace ([tool.uv.workspace] exclude) because it declares the same package name as packages/embeddedci, and its tag pattern deliberately does not start with embeddedci-v so the main publish job cannot fire on it.
