aws-secrets-manager
Secret safety for AWS Secrets Manager, secret management, credentials, API keys, tokens, and passwords. Prevents AI agents from directly fetching secret values and teaches runtime dynamic references with asm-exec so plaintext never enters the LLM context window.

Low-risk findings.
1 low severity finding. Worth noting, but not necessarily harmful.
W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).
What this means
The skill fetches instructions or code from an external URL at runtime, and the fetched content directly controls the agent’s prompts or executes code. This dynamic dependency allows the external source to modify the agent’s behavior without any changes to the skill itself.
Why it was flagged
The asm-exec runtime posts JSON-RPC requests to the MCP endpoint https://aws-mcp.us-east-1.api.aws/mcp (MCP_ENDPOINT) to invoke the server-side tool "aws___call_aws" which executes aws CLI commands remotely and returns secrets, so this external URL is used at runtime to cause remote command execution.
