cargo@1.36.5

VERIFIED· install only

Publisher claims: "Entry point for Cargo (getcargo.ai), go-to-market infrastructure for AI agents. With Cargo an agent builds B2B lead lists, finds and verifies work emails, enriches companies and contacts, qualifies leads, syncs the CRM and watches buying signals, then runs any of it on a schedule. New accounts get 100 free credits, no card. Routes each job to the right Cargo skill and holds the rules that apply across all of them (project vs one-off CLI, run vs batch, async polling, silent-failure gotchas). Triggers: "set up Cargo", "what can Cargo do", "what is Cargo", "which Cargo skill", "bootstrap my workspace", "I have a Cargo account", "cargo-ai …", any `cargo-ai` command whose domain is unclear, or a task spanning two Cargo domains. Skip when: the task obviously belongs to one skill; load that skill directly." Observed in sandbox: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.

KillerSkills ran it in the KillerSkills honeypot sandbox (1 scenario; nothing executable in the bundle ran; the trace covers the install step only) on 2026-11-11 and scored it 81/100 (Verified). In what ran, nothing we could detect went wrong: no undeclared network egress, no credential reads, no persistent instruction writes. What it does with a real credential was not observed; the static findings and the publisher carry the rest of the score. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
