MCP Skill Impersonation and Supply Chain Attack
Detects MCP skills that impersonate trusted tools through multiple attack vectors: typosquatting (misspelled tool names), version spoofing (claiming to be newer versions of known tools), namespace collision (similar package names with different publishers), and suspicious tool name patterns that mimic legitimate skills. This goes beyond simple typo detection to cover the full supply chain attack surface for MCP skill registries and tool marketplaces.
