Skill and Plugin Security Scanning (Beta)

Claude Enterprise organizations can automatically check third-party skills and plugins for malicious content when someone uploads or edits one.

  • Scanning runs automatically on upload or edit and covers standalone skills, plugins, and skills bundled inside plugins
  • Most scans finish in one to two minutes, and a repeat upload of the same file returns a cached result instantly
  • A failed scan blocks the skill or plugin outright, and neither the member nor an admin can override the block
  • Organization Owners and Primary Owners turn it on under Organization Settings, then Skills
  • Available in beta on Enterprise plans across Claude, Claude Cowork, and Enterprise plugin marketplaces at no extra cost
  • It does not cover skills built inside Claude or skills that come from connected servers, and it is unavailable to organizations using customer-managed encryption keys, zero data retention, or HIPAA configurations

Best for

Letting a team install third-party skills and plugins without an admin hand-reviewing every file.

When to use it

Your organization lets members bring in outside skills or plugins and you have no check on what those files do.
