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: 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
OAUTH_LOGGED_OUT_PATHConfiguration, not credentials: ARC1_LOG_HTTP_DEBUG, BROWSER, BSP_OBJECTS_PATH, FLP_SERVICE_PATH, MAX_GREP_PATTERN_LENGTH, SAP_BTP_DESTINATION, SAP_BTP_PP_DESTINATION, SAP_BTP_SERVICE_KEY, SAP_BTP_SERVICE_KEY_FILE
Where it talks to
arc1.invalid, arc-1-mcp.com (its own)Also sap.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 sap.com as well as its own vendor. The guard injects OAUTH_LOGGED_OUT_PATH only into requests to arc1.invalid (and its subdomains) and refuses the rest.

$vet-skills run --secrets OAUTH_LOGGED_OUT_PATH=arc1.invalid -- npx -y arc-1

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; startup only; authenticated tool behavior not tested) on 2026-11-09 and scored it 76/100 (Caution). It is not known to be malicious, but it has behaviour or code a security policy should decide on before install. Notable findings: Auto-update or dynamic fetch configuration; Credential pass-through configuration; Credential pass-through configuration. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
