Coverage

Tested

Not tested
use of the skill by an agent

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 twilio.com, resend.com, sigstore.dev, veritasacta.com, e2b.dev as well as its own vendor. The guard injects ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_TOKEN, ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_URL, E2B_API_KEY, GH_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN, MIN_TOKEN_LENGTH, PROTECT_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN, PROTECT_MCP_REPORT_TOKEN, RESEND_API_KEY, SCOPEBLIND_DEMO_AUTHORITY_KEY, SCOPEBLIND_RECEIVER_PRIVATE_KEY, SCOPEBLIND_TOKEN, SCOPEBLIND_WEBHOOK_TEMPLATE, SCOPEBLIND_WEBHOOK_URL, SLACK_BOT_TOKEN, TEAMS_WEBHOOK_URL, TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN only into requests to scopeblind.com (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.

KillerSkills ran it in the KillerSkills honeypot sandbox (1 scenario; nothing executable in the bundle ran; the trace covers the install step only) on 2026-11-14 and scored it 70/100 (Caution). It is not known to be malicious, but it has behaviour or code a security policy should decide on before install. Notable findings: Destructive command against a filesystem root or device; Reads credential paths from the home directory; Destructive command against a filesystem root or device. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
