implementing-usb-device-control-policyImplements USB device control policies to restrict unauthorized removable media access on endpoints, preventing data exfiltration and malware introduction via USB devices.
Implementing Usb Device Control Policy is an agent skill from mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills. Implements USB device control policies to restrict unauthorized removable media access on endpoints, preventing data exfiltration and malware introduction via USB devices. Use when deploying device control via Group Policy, Intune, or EDR platforms to enforce USB restrictions. Activates for requests involving USB control, removable media policy, device control, or data loss prevention via USB.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/template.md`, `references/api-reference.md` and `references/standards.md`).
It sits in Security. It works with Microsoft Defender. The repository describes itself as: 817 structured cybersecurity skills for AI agents · Mapped to 6 frameworks: MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF 2.0, MITRE ATLAS, D3FEND, NIST AI RMF & MITRE F3 (Fight Fraud) · agentskills.io…. The licence is Apache-2.0.
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 54a7988. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Implementing Usb Device Control Policy loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 109 tokens; SKILL.md has 304 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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.

With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills --skill implementing-usb-device-control-policy -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/implementing-usb-device-control-policy, .gemini/skills/implementing-usb-device-control-policy, .github/skills/implementing-usb-device-control-policy and .opencode/skills/implementing-usb-device-control-policy in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Implementing Usb Device Control Policy needs Python for the scripts in its folder. Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
Implementing Usb Device Control Policy is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.5k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 1.9k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
