This is a security auditing tool designed to detect threats, not perform them. The flagged signals (like accessing /etc/passwd or checking for 'ignore previous instructions') are examples of patterns the tool scans for, not actions the skill itself takes. Its external API usage (GitHub) is consistent with its open-source, community-authored purpose.
