Server started and answered tools/list.
Tested

Before you give it your token

It will ask for
no credential variables read in the code
Where it talks to
no vendor host named in the codeAlso google.com, duckduckgo.com, bing.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 under the guard; read the third-party hosts first. The code names google.com, duckduckgo.com, bing.com as well as its own vendor. The guard pins the network to the hosts the honeypot saw.

KillerSkills ran it in the KillerSkills honeypot sandbox (2 scenarios) on 2026-11-10 and scored it 84/100 (Verified). It did what it claims and nothing else we could detect: no undeclared network egress, no credential reads, no persistent instruction writes. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
