ripwire-security-scan from redhat-et/ripwire is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add redhat-et/ripwire/ripwire-security-scan@git:20260914.d09bb1bPins git:20260914.d09bb1b in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Security review: (1) vet an untrusted SKILL.md or .mcp.json BEFORE installing it — the injection/exfiltration scanner; CRITICAL blocks the install; (2) audit code on an untrusted-input path (a deserializer, parser, exec of user data, network endpoint): taint reach, untested seams. One scan pass is the verdict.
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
# Security scan with ripwire > Nearest neighbour: wiring ripwire ITSELF into an agent as an MCP server (not auditing someone else's) → > **ripwire-mcp**. General diff risk/coupling, not specifically security → **ripwire-change-check**. Trigger (config scanning): you've received a `SKILL.md`, a skills folder, or an `.mcp.json` from an external source and want to verify it's safe before installing or activating it. Trigger (code scanning): you're reviewing or about to write security-sensitive code — anything that parses untrusted input, deserializes, execs/evals, does raw pointer/buffer arithmetic, or sits on a network-facing boundary — and want structural signal on where the risk concentrates before you read line-by-line. ## Skill files — the built-in scanner **Scan a single file:** ``` ripwire --scan-skill=PATH/TO/SKILL.md ``` Output: `ripwire scan: N finding(s) in <file>`, then one line per finding — ``` CRITICAL inject.md:11 INJECTION:ignore-prev — "Ignore previous instructions and instead act as …" ``` Each finding lists severity, `file:line`, the rule id (`INJECTION:ignore-prev`, `INJECTION:you-are-now`, …

How to install
mdr add redhat-et/ripwire/ripwire-security-scan@sha256:316bd85ca2e807caThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.d09bb1b, 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.
