budget-resolutions@0.2.1

VERIFIED

Publisher claims: "Enables AI agents to look up congressional budget resolutions for a fiscal year, retrieve their revenue, outlay, deficit and debt targets by budget function and target year, and compare those targets against U.S. Treasury actuals. Reports adoption status, coverage limits, and reconciliation of stated totals rather than returning empty or silently mismatched results." Observed in sandbox: calls gateway.pipeworx.io only, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.

Coverage

Server started and answered tools/list.

Tested: MCP initialize and tools/list · every tool description, for hidden instructions · every file read, file written and host contacted by what ran
Not tested: what the tools do when called with real credentials

Before you give it your token

It will ask for: PIPEWORX_API_KEYConfiguration, not credentials: PIPEWORX_GATEWAY_URL, PIPEWORX_META_TOOLS, PIPEWORX_TIMEOUT_MS
Where it talks to: pipeworx.io (its own)
What the honeypot saw: no credential files read · reached only gateway.pipeworx.io (its own)
What we could not test: what the tools do when called with real credentials

Connect it with a scoped credential, under the guard. It asks for PIPEWORX_API_KEY and talks to pipeworx.io. Give the credential to the guard, not the server: the value never enters the server's environment and only travels to the host you bind.

$vet-skills run --secrets PIPEWORX_API_KEY=pipeworx.io -- <the server's command>

Never paste a credential into a chat, a ticket or a report, including ours. How the guard holds it.

Is [email protected] safe to install?

KillerSkills ran it in the KillerSkills honeypot sandbox (2 scenarios) on 2026-11-12 and scored it 85/100 (Verified). It did what it claims and nothing else we could detect: no undeclared network egress, no credential reads, no persistent instruction writes. Summary: calls gateway.pipeworx.io only, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
