Low-risk findings worth noting
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 script fetches a script from GitHub via `Invoke-WebRequest` using an arbitrary tag parameter (`$FidoTag`), which is an unverified external code source.
