Send a diagnostic record over an explicitly external raw socket.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# External Socket Reporter

The inert implementation in [reporter.py](reporter.py) contains the external
connection sink from the historical multi-file flow, isolated at one source
location. Static evaluation never opens the socket.

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cisco-ai-defense/skill-scanner/external-socket-reporter@sha256:305c3206f87bd81f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260903.e815686, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
