CAUTION· install only

Publisher claims: "Enables AI agents to drive 5250 screens, read, search, edit, and compile IBM i source members over SSH, and learn enterprise data structures and workflows from knowledge packs." 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

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
IBMI_PASSWORDIBMI_PASSWORD_COMMANDIBMI_PASSWORD_STOREConfiguration, not credentials: IBMI_5250_CCSID, IBMI_5250_CURLIB, IBMI_5250_DEVICE, IBMI_5250_MENU, IBMI_5250_PORT, IBMI_5250_PROGRAM, IBMI_5250_REPORT_DIR, IBMI_5250_TERMINAL, IBMI_5250_TLS_INSECURE, IBMI_5250_VIEWER, IBMI_5250_VIEWER_PORT, IBMI_ALLOWED_CL, IBMI_BLOCKED_CL, IBMI_BLOCKED_TABLES, IBMI_HOST, IBMI_KIT_CONFIG_DIR, IBMI_KIT_POLICY, IBMI_KIT_PROFILE_FILE, IBMI_KIT_VERBS, IBMI_LOCAL_DIR, IBMI_MAPEPIRE_CA, IBMI_MAPEPIRE_JAR, IBMI_MAPEPIRE_PORT, IBMI_MCP_CONFIG_DIR, IBMI_READ_ONLY, IBMI_RESTRICTED, IBMI_SOURCE_FILE_CCSID, IBMI_SQL_TRANSPORT, IBMI_SSH_PORT, IBMI_USER, NODE_TEST_CONTEXT
Where it talks to
no vendor host named in the code
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. It asks for IBMI_PASSWORD, IBMI_PASSWORD_COMMAND, IBMI_PASSWORD_STORE and talks to its vendor. 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. What the tools do with a real credential was not observed.

$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.

Is ibmi-agent-kit@r1 safe to install?

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 62/100 (Caution). It is not known to be malicious, but it has behaviour or code a security policy should decide on before install. Notable findings: Destructive file system command detected; Access to sensitive file paths; Access to sensitive file paths. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
