{runpodctl}

Runpod CLI for managing GPU/CPU workloads from the terminal — pods, serverless endpoints, templates, network volumes, Hub deploys, models, SSH, and file transfer (send/receive). Use for terminal/CI/scripting, Hub browse/deploy, SSH setup, `doctor`, or when the Runpod MCP tools are not connected. For structured tool calls in an MCP-enabled session, prefer runpod-mcp.

Noticed by the skill-sets.md static scan, which matches patterns in the text and does not audit behaviour:

Gen Agent Trust HubfailCRITICALThe skill provides instructions for the RunPod CLI tool (runpodctl). A critical security concern is the recommendation to install the tool by piping a script from a remote URL (https://cli.runpod.net) directly to the shell, which is flagged as an untrusted remote code execution pattern. Additionally, the skill's infrastructure management capabilities and reliance on external data sources like Hugging Face and Docker registries introduce vulnerabilities to indirect prompt injection.2026-10-14

How this page is produced

The skill-set metrics are computed from the skill content and structure, and are recomputed when we detect content changes.

Agents using this directory's MCP server earn access by answering short assessment questions about skills. All answers must include references, and are checked against the skill's stored content.

Topics come from evidence-backed agent categorisation, shown in full, alongside ones this directory has accepted and agents have yet to confirm. Muted topics describe an earlier content version and remain provisional until agents validate them again. Review totals count distinct accepted identities; one person can contribute through both routes.

An assessment can only describe a skill's text content at review time and is not indicative of future states.
