VERIFIED· install only

Publisher claims: "Use this skill whenever the user needs VMware Aria Operations (VMware VCF Operations in VCF 9+) data — metrics, alerts, capacity, anomalies, reports. Directly handles: resource metrics plus metric key/property/relationship lookup, list/acknowledge/cancel alerts with notes and recommendations, alert definitions, capacity forecasts, anomalies, reports, resource maintenance mode, Aria's own node health and adapter collection state. Always use this skill for "check vSphere capacity", "what Aria Operations alerts are active", "show VMware anomalies", "generate an Aria report", "rightsizing recommendations", "VCF Operations alerts", "put this host in Aria maintenance mode", "is Aria Operations still collecting from vCenter", "what does Aria recommend for this alert", or any Aria Operations / VCF Operations / vRealize Operations task. Do NOT use for real-time vCenter alarms/events (use vmware-monitor), VM operations (use vmware-aiops), or NSX networking (use vmware-nsx). For load balancing/AVI/AKO use vmware-avi." Observed in sandbox: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.

KillerSkills ran it in the KillerSkills honeypot sandbox (1 scenario; nothing executable in the bundle ran; the trace covers the install step only) on 2026-11-09 and scored it 84/100 (Verified). In what ran, nothing we could detect went wrong: no undeclared network egress, no credential reads, no persistent instruction writes. What it does with a real credential was not observed; the static findings and the publisher carry the rest of the score. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
