missing required argument `entry_id`

Error message

missing required argument `entry_id`

What it means

The skill-registry install tool was called without a usable `entry_id` string — missing, non-string, or empty after trimming. The install flow needs the catalog entry id to look up and fetch the remote SKILL.md, so the guard fires before the approval gate or any fetch occurs.

1. Take the exact entry_id from a prior skill_registry_browse result
2. Ensure it is passed as a JSON string
