python-repl — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited python-repl (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.

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.

First recorded scan — no prior version to compare against.
The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
execute_python is an MCP tool and may be deferred (name visible, schema not loaded). Load it once, then it stays available for the whole session:
ToolSearch query: "execute_python"(The exact tool name depends on install method: mcp__plugin_python-repl_python-repl__execute_python via the plugin, mcp__python-repl__execute_python via claude mcp add — keyword search matches both.)
python3 spawn. Variables, imports, and functions survive across calls — build analysis incrementally instead of re-parsing in every command.timeout seconds (KeyboardInterrupt) and your variables survive the interrupt. A crash (segfault/OOM) only restarts the REPL kernel — you get a clear "variables cleared" notice, never a hung server.await client.get(url) directly, no asyncio.run() wrapper.sh() replaces cmd | python3 -c pipelines (below).sh(cmd) runs a shell command and returns stdout as a str subclass — usable directly:
data = json.loads(sh("gh pr view 2822 --json statusCheckRollup"))
files = sh("git ls-files '*.py'").splitlines()
r = sh("pytest -q", check=False) # check=False: don't raise on nonzero exit
if not r.ok:
print(r.returncode, r.stderr[-500:])Pipes, globs, and && all work (shell=True). On nonzero exit it raises ShellError (carrying .returncode/.stdout/.stderr) unless check=False.
Full filesystem access. open(), Path().read_text(), absolute paths, and ~ all work. Relative paths resolve against the project directory.
mcp reaches the MCP servers configured in the project's .mcp.json (it connects lazily on first use — expect the first call to take a few seconds):
mcp.servers # connected server names
mcp.failed # connection failures with reasons
print(mcp.help()) # servers + tools overview
mcp.call('github', 'create_issue', owner='me', repo='proj', title='Bug')Host-level connectors (claude.ai Notion/GitHub, user-scope claude mcp add servers) are not reachable here — call those tools directly. Arguments must be JSON-serializable.
The REPL env is ephemeral per release build. Install into the running env:
sh('uv pip install openpyxl')stdout truncates at 50KB, return values at 20KB. Aggregate and summarize in-REPL rather than dumping raw results. Slice large return values (results[:10]).
~30 seconds. Free. No account. Every finding cites a rule and a line of evidence.
