Triages exposed TCP listeners found by security audits. Use for: exposed port, what is listening, fix exposed service, open port.

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

# Exposed Service Triage
## When to Use

- User says **exposed port** or task matches this capability
- User says **what is listening** or task matches this capability
- User says **fix exposed service** or task matches this capability
- User says **open port** or task matches this capability

## Workflow

1. Run read-only listener inventory (ss -tln, fuser) on user machine.
2. Map ports to processes; classify MCP-related vs system vs unknown.
3. Present findings table with risk tier and plain-language explanation.
4. Recommend: bind 127.0.0.1, disable service, or firewall rule.
5. Before stopping/disabling any service: hitl-approver required.
6. Never run aggressive remote scans or attack exposed services.

## Integrations

- `defensive-mcp-audit`
- `hitl-approver`

## Error Handling

| Failure | Response |
|---------|----------|
| Cannot identify process | Report port and binding; suggest sudo ss -tlnp with user consent. |
| User requests aggressive scan | Decline; offer defensive audit only. |

## Gotchas

- Common OS services on 0.0.0.0 may be intentional; explain before recommending disable.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add stijnman/grok-custom-skills/exposed-service-triage@sha256:4b31199b239f95bb

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
