What it does

This skill is a security test script written as instructions for an AI agent. It teaches the agent to probe a multi-agent system for weaknesses in how agents talk to each other, such as one agent revealing another agent's private messages, an attacker impersonating an agent, unencrypted message channels, or low-privilege agents reaching admin tools through routing. The agent then reports each confirmed weakness with evidence, a risk level and a suggested fix. It is aimed at people who build or audit systems where several AI agents exchange messages.

Great for

  • Security engineers reviewing a multi-agent system before release
  • Developers building agents that share memory, context or tools
  • Teams auditing message brokers or routers that pass work between agents

Skip it if

  • Single-agent apps with no cross-agent messaging, since the skill itself says to skip it
  • Running against production systems without authorization, because it sends attack-style prompts that could trigger real privileged actions or leak data
  • Relying on it as a complete security audit, since it only covers four test categories

Try asking

  • “Check whether my support agent and billing agent leak each other's conversation history”
  • “Test whether a low-privilege agent can route a request to an admin agent to run a tool”
  • “Probe my multi-agent pipeline for message impersonation or missing routing boundaries”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Run it only against test or staging deployments you are authorised to test, since the prompts are attack-style.
  • Pair it with a review of the actual transport and access-control configuration, because the skill mostly tests conversational responses.
  • Keep the generated evidence and conversation transcripts so findings can be reproduced and verified by a human.
