Use before deploying a live bot, to audit existing broker API keys for scopes they do not need. Flags withdrawal, transfer and admin rights that turn a leaked execution key into theft.
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
## When to Use Invoke this skill prior to deploying any live trading bot or data pipeline to verify that API credentials strictly adhere to the principle of least privilege. Granting unnecessary permissions (such as account withdrawal, funds transfer, or administrative management) to an execution or data-ingestion bot creates catastrophic security vulnerabilities. If a key is leaked or compromised, excess privileges enable external theft. ## When NOT to Use - **Brokers without granular permission scopes**: If the broker exposes only a single all-or-nothing API key with no scope metadata to audit, this tool cannot perform meaningful analysis. Use network-level isolation (IP allowlisting, VPN) instead. - **Pre-deployment key creation**: This skill audits existing keys, it does not create or modify broker API key scopes. Use broker-specific key creation tooling. - **Secrets storage or rotation**: This skill does not handle credential storage, encryption, or rotation. See `secrets-rotation-without-bot-downtime` and `crypto-wallet-key-custody-security`. …

How to install
mdr add himanshuj16/algo-trading-skills/api-key-least-privilege-audit-tool@sha256:66d2e28770a03454The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.0, 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.
