🟢 Trusted

No high-risk patterns surfaced by the deep scan — automated capability review, not behavioral proof.

SDK scaffolding skill for building Python-based AI agents using the AWS Strands SDK; credential_store and credential_access capabilities are used legitimately to configure AWS/Anthropic/OpenAI API keys for agent model providers, which is the documented purpose.
