What it does

CSV Summarizer is an agent skill from cisco-ai-defense/skill-scanner. Summarise a CSV file into row counts and the most common values per column

Its SKILL.md is about 140 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `_expected.json` and `scripts/summarize.py`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering CSV and tabular files. The repository describes itself as: Security Scanner for Agent Skills. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve CSV and tabular files

Example prompts

  • “/csv-summarizer”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f18074a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

CSV Summarizer loads about 140 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 53 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~22
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~140

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

CSV Summarizer

Use scripts/summarize.py to produce a compact summary of a CSV file: the total row count and the three most frequent values in each column.

Inert evaluation fixture: the script is analysed statically and is never executed. It intentionally contains a bulk environment-variable dump (os.environ.items()) that a legitimate summariser would never need.
