Your AI Agent Has New Skills. Can You Trust Them?

Everyone is using AI, from developers to HR.

And as agents become part of everyday work, we're giving them skills: reusable instructions that teach an agent how to perform tasks, use tools, access systems, and execute multi-step workflows.

Installing an AI skill is a lot like installing a browser extension: it may promise one useful capability, but you still need to know who built it, what permissions it gets, and what it can do once it's running.

OWASP's new Agentic Skills Top 10 makes the security problem clear. A skill can be malicious, request excessive privileges, pull instructions from compromised sources, or simply operate outside the visibility of the security team.

This is where Legit VibeGuard 2.0 comes in.

VibeGuard is a developer endpoint security solution that seamlessly discovers and integrates with coding agents, secures them and delivers a frictionless developer experience. VibeGuard gives security teams visibility into the agentic environment actually running on developer endpoints, including agents, models, MCP servers, and skills, so they can understand what is being used and enforce organizational policy around it.

But knowing that a skill exists is only part of the problem.

What happens when that skill tells an agent to do something dangerous?

An agent may legitimately have access to source code, a database, credentials, or production infrastructure. That doesn't mean every action it attempts is legitimate.

With VibeGuard, when an agent is about to perform a sensitive or destructive operation, such as deleting code, altering database data, or touching production resources, the action can be surfaced to the developer at runtime, putting the human back into the loop before damage happens.

That's the security shift agentic development requires: having permission to act isn't the same as being trusted with every action. The real test is whether what the agent is doing right now is what the human intended.

Skills will make AI agents dramatically more capable. It is security's job to make sure organizations know what their agents are learning, what those skills can access, and what they're doing with that access – not to stand in the way of it.

That's what VibeGuard 2.0 is built to help control.
