Gen and Vercel are partnering to add independent safety verification to Vercel’s skills.sh directory for reusable AI agent skills.
Gen, the parent of consumer cybersec brands like Norton and Avast, in an announcement, highlighted that Vercel's cloud computing and virtual machine platform serves more than six million developers worldwide.
Skills.sh, which functions as an open directory where developers can publish and install modular agent capabilities, will be monitored by Gen systems which will also ascribe security verification and risk ratings.
Each skill will be evaluated and classified as Safe, Low Risk, High Risk, or Critical Risk, Gen said. It added that the hub analyzes skills using advanced risk modeling and threat intelligence, powered by Gen Threat Labs, to detect security weaknesses, unsafe permissions, behavioral anomalies, and potential malicious intent.
