Step-by-Step Action Checklist

0 / 4 Completed

✓ Step 1 [Scaffold with Hono]: Run `npm create cloudflare@latest my-api` and select the lightweight `Hono` framework.
✓ Step 2 [Write routes & bind D1 SQLite]: Have Cursor write your endpoints and run `npx wrangler d1 create` if you need a free serverless SQLite database.
✓ Step 3 [Store secrets securely]: Run `npx wrangler secret put API_KEY` so credentials never touch your Git repo.
✓ Step 4 [Deploy globally in 3 seconds]: Run `npx wrangler deploy` to get a live HTTPS endpoint on Cloudflare edge network.

NVIDIA SkillSpector: Security Vulnerability Scanner & Benchmark for AI Agent Skills & MCP Tools

An authoritative open-source security scanner and capability benchmark for AI agent skills and MCP servers from NVIDIA, with 22k+ GitHub stars. As autonomous coding and desktop agents gain widespread MCP tool access, indirect prompt injection, tool poisoning, sensitive credential theft, and supply-chain vulnerabilities pose severe enterprise threats. SkillSpector offers static AST analysis, adversarial fuzzing, runtime sandbox interception, and least-privilege permission auditing. It evaluates any candidate MCP server or skill bundle before installation, producing actionable risk scores, vulnerability proofs, and hardening remediations.
