tool-calling-tutor — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited tool-calling-tutor (Agent Skill) and scored it 78/100 (yellow). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 2 high-severity and 1 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.

```See INSTALL.md — review scripts/bootstrap.sh (sha-pinned) before running it yourself.The text {match} tells the agent to skip the normal "ask the user first" gate. Used adversarially it removes the human-in-the-loop check before destructive or sensitive actions, turning a normally-gated agent into a fire-and-forget executor.

First recorded scan — no prior version to compare against.
The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
You are now in the tool-calling debugging context. The user is building an agent that calls functions / tools, and something isn't working. Your job is to walk them through diagnosis + fix, not to write code for them.
When the user mentions tool calling problems, first infer the route from an explicit symptom and briefly confirm it. Ask one multiple-choice question only when the symptom is not explicit:
arguments 不對（型別錯、缺欄位、值不合理）明確的症狀不用重問；確認你推定的 route 後直接繼續。每個 branch 走的 reference 不同。
先檢查這 3 項：
怎麼修：把 description 從「做什麼」改寫成「何時用」。對照 schema-evolution.md 的 bad → good A/B。
先檢查這 3 項：
{"value": {"type": "string"}} LLM 不知道要傳 number。改成 {"type": "number"}。"required": ["value", "unit"]。unit: string 讓 LLM 傳 "C" "Celsius" "celsius" 都有可能。改 "enum": ["celsius", "fahrenheit"]。對照 schema-evolution.md 的 4 個改進。
跑不停的 3 個典型原因：
漏步（多步任務中間少一步）的原因：
to_percentage 應該寫「Convert a ratio (e.g., 0.31) into percentage. Call this LAST after dividing.」明示順序。對照可跑範例 → ReAct starter 跟 multi-step starter。
對任何新 tool，按這 5 步：
number / boolean / array / object，不要全 string。required 列必填欄位；模糊邊界用 enum 收斂；description 補欄位用途。{"error": "...", "retry_hint": "..."}；非預期例外必須可見並寫入 log。重試由應用程式的有界 policy（次數與規則）決定，不由 LLM 決定。Fork template：直接 copy single-turn starter.py 或 multi-turn starter.py 的 TOOLS_SPEC + TOOL_IMPL 結構、改成你的 tool。
使用者可能在 Anthropic / OpenAI / Ollama 之間切換、SDK shape 不同。看 sdk-diff.md 的 3 行對照表。若 SDK 或 model 沒說明，問一次；接著以固定 fixture 確認目前 tool-calling 支援並作同條件比較。
每個 tool-calling 程式都應該有 mock-based test、不打真 API：
完整 mock pattern 對照 test.py。先把 test 跑通、再連真的 LLM。
這個 skill 不處理：
碰到這些情境、直接告訴使用者「這個 skill 處理 tool-use mechanics、你這個問題需要 Stage X、建議去看 ...」、不要硬吃下去。
