Compare two AI tools side by side
Put any two skills or MCP servers next to each other: risk grade, what each can access, how popular it is, and how to install it.

| Risk grade | CC · Moderate risk signals Based on public adoption and transparency signals as of Oct 19, 2026.

| Type | AI agent skill | AI agent skill |
| Est. context load | ~50 tokens idle · ~750 tokens when active (on-demand skill) | ~71 tokens idle · ~500 tokens when active (on-demand skill) |
| GitHub stars | 216 | 32k |
| Weekly npm downloads | — | — |
| Local files | No local folder access noted | No local folder access noted |
| Command execution | No shell command runner noted | No shell command runner noted |
| Network reach | Local or standard API calls | Connects to outside service API |
| Credentials | No API token required | Requires API key or token |
| Package source | GitHub (DevelopersGlobal/ai-agent-skills) | GitHub (googleworkspace/cli) |
| Install command | Source repo only | Source repo only |
| Bottom line | Signal-based grade (2/7 points): public source code. This reflects adoption and transparency, not a code review. | cli (agent skill) requires careful permission scoping — credential scope creep: OAuth tokens granted broad Workspace permissions (Gmail, Drive, Admin) create blast radius if credentials leak or are misused by malicious prompts. |
