Ask the Experts: Evaluating Agent Skills | Nemotron Labs

Agent skills package instructions, instructions, examples, and tool guidance for autonomous agents, but before a skill enters a real workflow, teams need to understand its security risks, overlap with existing skills, and measure usefulness. In this Ask the Experts session, the NVIDIA product and engineering team behind SkillEvaluator and SkillSpector will unpack the three-tier evaluation framework, share benchmark results from 300+ verified skills across 30+ NVIDIA products, and cover how SkillSpector scans for agent-native risks including prompt injection, data exfiltration, trigger abuse, and tool poisoning. SkillSpector is a standalone security scanner for agent skills, combining static analysis with optional LLM semantic analysis. Teams can use it independently or integrate it into broader workflows, including SkillEvaluator’s Tier 1 validation. Expect a look at SkillEvaluator in action.
