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

foehn downloads every MeteoSwiss OGD collection via the STAC API, converts CSV/TXT station data to Parquet with Polars, and opens gridded collections — NetCDF climate grids, GRIB2 forecasts, and ODIM radar composites — as xarray Datasets or Zarr stores. It can optionally ingest everything into Databricks Unity Catalog Delta tables on a daily schedule, and ships an MCP server so LLMs can query Swiss weather data directly.

From PyPI:
pip install foehnFrom source:
git clone https://github.com/kayhendriksen/foehn
cd foehn
pip install -e .With extras:
pip install "foehn[databricks]" # PySpark + Delta, and Polars' build for CPUs without AVX2
pip install "foehn[mcp]" # MCP server
pip install "foehn[grids]" # xarray + Zarr for all gridded data (NetCDF, GRIB2, radar)Requires Python 3.11 or later.
import foehn
df = foehn.load("smn", station="BER", frequency="d")Load data directly into Polars DataFrames, explore metadata, download to disk, and convert to Parquet — all from Python. See the full Python API documentation.
foehn download smn pollen
foehn load smn --station BER --frequency dThe CLI mirrors the Python API with subcommands for downloading, converting, loading, and inspecting metadata. See the full CLI documentation.
ds = foehn.open_dataset("surface_derived_grid", match="rhiresd") # NetCDF climate grid
ds = foehn.open_dataset("forecast_icon_ch1", match="YYYYMMDDHHMM-0-t_2m-ctrl") # one GRIB2 field
ds = foehn.open_dataset("radar_precip", match="cpcYYDDDHHMM") # one radar composite
# Forecast and radar files roll off after a day / two weeks: fill in a recent time.
# A match that finds nothing lists the times the collection holds now.
foehn.to_zarr("surface_derived_grid", match="rhiresd") # Zarr storeNetCDF climate grids/normals/scenarios, GRIB2 forecasts (ICON-CH1/CH2, KENDA), and HDF5/ODIM radar composites all open as xarray Datasets instead of DataFrames. One extra covers them: pip install "foehn[grids]". See the gridded data documentation.
