iam-tap@0.1.1

VERIFIED· startup only

Publisher claims: "Enables capturing real AWS SDK calls through Client-Side Monitoring (CSM UDP) and turning them into least-privilege IAM policies, emitted as JSON, Terraform, or AWS CDK over a JSON-RPC stdio interface. Policy writes are path-contained and dry-run by default, requiring an explicit opt-in flag." Observed in sandbox: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.

Coverage

Startup only; authenticated tool behavior not tested.
Tested
server startup over stdio (initialize sent) · every file read, file written and host contacted by what ran
Not tested
the tool list (the server exited before answering) · what the tools do when called with real credentials

What this means for the label: Verified 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
CSM_TOKEN_ENVDASHSCOPE_API_KEYConfiguration, not credentials: IAM_TAP_BIN, REPOMCP_PATH_WSL
Where it talks to
no vendor host named in the codeAlso aliyuncs.com — 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
the tool list (the server exited before answering) · what the tools do when called with real credentials

Connect it with a scoped credential, under the guard, and read the third-party hosts first. The code names aliyuncs.com as well as its own vendor. The guard injects CSM_TOKEN_ENV, DASHSCOPE_API_KEY only into requests to the host you bind (and its subdomains) and refuses the rest.

$vet-skills run --net declared -- <the server's command>

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

KillerSkills ran it in the KillerSkills honeypot sandbox (2 scenarios; startup only; authenticated tool behavior not tested) on 2026-11-14 and scored it 82/100 (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.
