Coverage

Server started and answered tools/list.
Tested

what the tools do when called with real credentials

Before you give it your token

It will ask for
PANDASTUDIO_AUTOMATION_TOKENConfiguration, not credentials: PANDASTUDIO_AUTOMATION_PORT, PANDASTUDIO_BIN, PANDASTUDIO_CALLER, PANDASTUDIO_CONFIG_DIR, PANDASTUDIO_MCP_PROGRESS_MS, PANDASTUDIO_MCP_UI, ProgramFiles
Where it talks to
no vendor host named in the code
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. It asks for PANDASTUDIO_AUTOMATION_TOKEN and talks to its vendor. Give the credential to the guard, not the server: the value never enters the server's environment and only travels to the host you bind.

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) on 2026-11-10 and scored it 95/100 (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.
