Coverage

Not started: dependency install failed; the server itself was not observed.

Tested: the dependency install step · every file read, file written and host contacted by what ran
Not tested: server startup · the tool list · tool behavior

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: HIRO_API_KEYOPENROUTER_API_KEYPILLAR_API_KEYSPONSOR_API_KEYConfiguration, not credentials: AIBTC_CAMPAIGN_API_URL, AIBTC_TOOLS, BITFLOW_KEEPER_API_HOST, CLIENT_MNEMONIC, NETWORK, OPENROUTER_MODEL, PILLAR_API_URL, PILLAR_DEFAULT_REFERRAL, PILLAR_POLL_TIMEOUT_MS, SPONSOR_FALLBACK_ENABLED

What the honeypot saw: no credential files read · no network
What we could not test: server startup · the tool list · tool behavior

Connect it with a scoped credential, under the guard, and read the third-party hosts first. The code names hiro.so, openrouter.ai, elsalvadorstakesbtc.com, chainagnostic.org, bitflow.finance, gateway.dev, bitflowapis.finance, ordinals.com, bnsv2.com, pillarbtc.com, coingecko.com, x.com, tenero.io as well as its own vendor. The guard injects HIRO_API_KEY, OPENROUTER_API_KEY, PILLAR_API_KEY, SPONSOR_API_KEY only into requests to aibtc.com (and its subdomains) and refuses the rest.

$vet-skills run --secrets HIRO_API_KEY=aibtc.com,OPENROUTER_API_KEY=aibtc.com,PILLAR_API_KEY=aibtc.com,SPONSOR_API_KEY=aibtc.com -- npx -y @aibtc/mcp-server

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; not started: dependency install failed; the server itself was not observed) on 2026-11-09 and scored it 88/100 (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.
