# Plugin Scanner

Use HOL's local `plugin-scanner` when a user asks to inspect an AI agent skill, plugin, MCP server, agent package, or repository before installation or use.

The scanner is shipped by the open-source `plugin-scanner` Python distribution. It is built from the same HOL Guard source repository, but it is intentionally packaged separately from the `hol-guard` runtime CLI. Scanning runs locally and does not require Guard Cloud.

## When to use this skill

Use this skill when the user asks to:

- scan or audit a `SKILL.md` before installing it;
- inspect an MCP server or agent plugin for security risks;
- check a third-party agent repository before trusting it;
- look for prompt injection, credential exposure, unsafe commands, or suspicious package/install behavior;
