+    AI agent skill abuse detection rules for source and manifest scanning.
+
+    These rules complement the generic malware/webshell/cryptominer/hacktool
+    rules with patterns that are specific to agent skills and MCP/tool
+    metadata: credential exfiltration via commodity webhooks, prompt/tool
+    poisoning, remote bootstrap execution, and destructive autonomous actions.
+
+    Conditions intentionally combine multiple indicators where possible to
+    reduce false positives in documentation-heavy skill bundles.
