Coverage

Started with a decoy NINEDEPLOY_TOKEN; tool list observed. Tool calls with a real credential not tested.
Tested
server startup with a tagged decoy in NINEDEPLOY_TOKEN · MCP initialize and tools/list · every tool description, for hidden instructions · where the decoy credential went · every file read, file written and host contacted by what ran
Not tested
what the tools do when called with a real credential
Needs
NINEDEPLOY_TOKEN — give it to the server where it runs, through vet-skills run --secrets, so the value never enters the server's environment. Never paste a credential into a chat, a ticket or a report.

Before you give it your token

It will ask for
NINEDEPLOY_TOKENConfiguration, not credentials: NINEDEPLOY_MCP_READONLY, NINEDEPLOY_URL
Where it talks to
no vendor host named in the code
What the honeypot saw
no credential files read · contacted 127.0.0.1 (undeclared)
What we could not test
what the tools do when called with a real credential

Find out what these hosts are first. In the honeypot it contacted 127.0.0.1, which nothing in the package names as its own. If that is the vendor's service, fine; if you cannot place it, do not connect it.

$vet-skills run --net 127.0.0.1 -- npx -y @ninedeploy/mcp

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) on 2026-11-11 and scored it 71/100 (Caution). It is not known to be malicious, but it has behaviour or code a security policy should decide on before install. Summary: sends data to 127.0.0.1.
