SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps ensure that the 'allowed-tools' configuration in a Skill's definition effectively restricts access to only the specified tools, enhancing security and predictability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Tool Access Verification: Confirms whether specific tools are accessible or blocked as per the allowed-tools configuration.
  • Security Auditing: Validates the enforcement of tool restrictions, preventing unauthorized tool usage.
  • Use Case: Before deploying a sensitive Skill, use this to confirm that it can only access the 'Write' tool and cannot use potentially harmful tools like 'Bash' or 'Read'.

Quick Start

Test the tool restriction by attempting to use the Write, Read, and Bash tools and report the findings.

Frequently Asked Questions about test-restricted-tools

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify tool access restrictions in a Skill configuration?

Verify tool access restrictions by testing whether a Skill's 'allowed-tools' parameter successfully blocks unauthorized tools. This validates security configurations by attempting to invoke specified and unspecified tools to confirm only permitted functionalities are available.

What is tool restriction enforcement in agent security auditing?

Tool restriction enforcement ensures an AI agent only accesses explicitly permitted tools defined by the 'allowed-tools' parameter. This security auditing process prevents unauthorized tool usage and maintains predictable agent behavior during sensitive operations.

How do I test if a Skill blocks potentially harmful tools like Bash or Read?

Test if a Skill blocks harmful tools by attempting to use restricted tools like Bash or Read and reporting the findings. This verifies that only permitted tools, such as Write, remain accessible while unauthorized tools are successfully blocked.

Can I validate allowed-tools configuration before deploying a sensitive Skill?

Yes, you can validate the 'allowed-tools' configuration before deployment by testing access to specified and unspecified tools. This confirms the restriction rules are enforced, ensuring predictable agent behavior and preventing unauthorized tool usage in production.

Why does my agent still have access to blocked tools despite configuration?

If an agent accesses blocked tools, the 'allowed-tools' configuration may not be properly enforced. Use a validation process to test access to specific tools and confirm whether the restriction rules are actually blocking unauthorized functionalities.

Does this tool restriction test require any dependencies or components?

No, this tool restriction test requires no dependencies or components. It operates by directly attempting to use tools like Write, Read, and Bash to report whether the 'allowed-tools' configuration successfully enforces access control.
