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
MANDARINCLIPS_API_KEYConfiguration, not credentials: MANDARINCLIPS_API_BASE, MANDARINCLIPS_PATREON_URL, MANDARINCLIPS_WEB_BASE- Where it talks to
- mandarinclips.com (its own)Also patreon.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
- 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 patreon.com as well as its own vendor. The guard injects MANDARINCLIPS_API_KEY only into requests to mandarinclips.com (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.
