BF agent-mail-guard

Sanitize email and calendar content before it reaches your AI agent's context window. Blocks prompt injection, markdown image exfiltration, invisible unicode, homoglyph attacks, base64 payloads, and fake conversation turns. Zero dependencies (Python 3.11+ stdlib only). Use when your agent reads email, processes calendar events, or handles any untrusted text input that could contain injection attempts. Outputs clean JSON with sender trust tiers, suspicion flags, and truncated bodies safe for LLM consumption.

What is at stake

Medium-severity findings: the skill is probably honest, but read what alarmed the scanner.

Instruction override medium severity

Below is the worst case for this category. The finding here is medium: the guard saw a sign, not a proof.

If you install

The text contains phrases like "ignore previous instructions" or "you are now…". That is an attempt to hijack the agent: it may break your rules, the system limits or company policy.

For the author

An honest skill does not need them: state the role and the rules directly without overriding other instructions. Otherwise catalog scanners and corporate filters will block the listing.

How to improve

  1. The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
For the model run — optional
  • Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
  • A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Against the Agent Skills spec

  • warning missing-ref reference to a missing file: scripts/sanitize_core.py

Process rating: all ten parameters 49/100

Will not run. References files that are not bundled: scripts/sanitize_core.py
  • 0Tools and files. 1 referenced file(s) missing: scripts/sanitize_core.py
  • 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
  • 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
  • 30Running it twice. 3 mutating operations with no state check
  • 55Failures and branches. 1 branches
  • 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
  • 100Steps. 11 steps
  • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
  • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 902 tokens
  • 100Progress reporting. Reports progress

Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
