Audited by Gen Agent Trust Hub on Mar 18, 2026
Risk Level: SAFE
Full Analysis
- [SAFE]: The skill provides documentation and common usage patterns for the 'iotop' and 'iotop-c' CLI tools, which are well-known and standard system monitoring utilities.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill includes numerous examples of 'sudo iotop' commands. These are expected for a tool that requires administrative privileges (CAP_SYS_ADMIN) to read kernel task statistics. No arbitrary or malicious command execution patterns were detected.
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill references official package managers (apt, dnf) and reputable upstream sources such as GitHub and project homepages for documentation purposes. No automated or hidden downloads were found.
- [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: One example demonstrates redirecting output to a local temporary file ('/tmp/io-snapshot.txt') or a log file ('/var/log/iotop-monitor.log'). These are standard logging practices and do not involve transmitting data to external or untrusted destinations.
