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
Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 0.80). The README contains an explicit install command that downloads and expands the runtime from https://github.com/sbroenne/mcp-server-excel/releases/latest/download/ExcelMcp-CLI-latest-windows.zip (Invoke-WebRequest + Expand-Archive), and the skill requires the excelcli runtime which will execute local code—so this URL is a runtime external dependency that fetches and supplies executable code.
