dispatch@0.4.0-alpha
CAUTION· install onlyPublisher claims: "This MCP server enables AI agents and teams to coordinate through shared inboxes, threaded conversations, attachments, expiring file reservations, prompts, and live notifications, while replaying missed events after restarts." Observed in sandbox: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
Coverage
Nothing executable in the bundle ran; the trace covers the install step only.- Tested
- second launch with the clock 45 days ahead · every file read, file written and host contacted by what ran
- Not tested
- use of the skill by an agent
What this means for the label: Caution here covers what ran. The server's tools were not exercised with a real credential, so nothing about their behavior is asserted; the credential summary below says what to do with that.
Before you give it your token
- It will ask for
ANTHROPIC_API_KEYDISPATCH_TOKENConfiguration, not credentials: CALL_BACKEND, CALL_MODEL, CALL_PERSONA, DISPATCH_AGENT_KEY, DISPATCH_AUTO_UPDATE, DISPATCH_BACKUP_DIR, DISPATCH_BACKUP_KEEP, DISPATCH_BACKUP_PASSPHRASE, DISPATCH_COOKIE_SECURE, DISPATCH_DATA_DIR, DISPATCH_ICE_SERVERS, DISPATCH_LOG_LEVEL, DISPATCH_MAIL_FILE, DISPATCH_MAIL_FROM, DISPATCH_MCP_URL, DISPATCH_ORIGIN, DISPATCH_PROJECT, DISPATCH_SETUP_KEY, DISPATCH_SMTP_URL, DISPATCH_TRUST_PROXY, DISPATCH_UPDATE_COMMAND, DISPATCH_UPDATE_REPO, DISPATCH_URL, NEXT_PUBLIC_BUILD- Where it talks to
- no vendor host named in the codeAlso sameer.sh, huggingface.co — not the publisher's domain; check what for before connecting.
- What the honeypot saw
- no credential files read · no network
- What we could not test
- use of the skill by an agent
Connect it with a scoped credential, under the guard, and read the third-party hosts first. The code names sameer.sh, huggingface.co as well as its own vendor. The guard injects ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, DISPATCH_TOKEN only into requests to the host you bind (and its subdomains) and refuses the rest.
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; nothing executable in the bundle ran; the trace covers the install step only) on 2026-11-11 and scored it 68/100 (Caution). It is not known to be malicious, but it has behaviour or code a security policy should decide on before install. Notable findings: Access to sensitive file paths; Access to sensitive file paths; Auto-update or dynamic fetch configuration. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
