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.

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 claude.ai, claude.com, chatgpt.com, client.example, a.example as well as its own vendor. The guard injects COMMA_IN_PASSWORD_HINT, DOWNLOAD_TOKEN_SECRET, DOWNLOAD_TOKEN_TTL, GITLAB_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID, GITLAB_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET, GITLAB_OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI, GITLAB_OAUTH_TOKEN_PATH, GITLAB_OAUTH_TOKEN_SCRIPT, GITLAB_OAUTH_TOKEN_SCRIPT_TIMEOUT_SECONDS, GITLAB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN, GITLAB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN_FILE, GITLAB_USE_OAUTH, MIN_SECRET_BYTES, OAUTH_STATELESS_SECRET, OAUTH_STATELESS_SECRET_PREVIOUS 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 (1 scenario; nothing executable in the bundle ran; the trace covers the install step only) on 2026-11-12 and scored it 79/100 (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; URL with embedded credentials; URL with embedded credentials. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
