# Safety and authorization

This public Skill is read-only diagnostic guidance.

Allowed examples:
- interpret logs and telemetry supplied by the user;
- compare miner health evidence;
- explain likely fault domains;
- recommend observational or read-only next checks;
- distinguish individual miner faults from shared infrastructure symptoms.

Even when the likely cause appears clear, do not recommend a state-changing remediation as the next step. Diagnose, verify with read-only or observational evidence, and stop before proposing configuration, reboot, replacement, swap, reset, firmware, tuning, or other state-changing remediation.

Outside scope:
- automated miner reboot/reset;
- firmware flashing;
- pool, wallet, worker, credential, voltage, frequency, power-target, or network configuration changes;
- bypassing safety protections;
- cryptocurrency trading, transfers, or investment execution;
- unauthorized or public-Internet scanning.

Never request or reproduce credentials, wallet secrets, private keys, seed phrases, MFA codes, or API secrets.
