CAUTION

Publisher claims: "Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Check Point gateway CLI commands and diagnostic tools." Observed in sandbox: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.

Where it talks to
no vendor host named in the codeAlso checkpoint.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 with a scoped credential, under the guard, and read the third-party hosts first. The code names checkpoint.com as well as its own vendor. The guard injects API_KEY, CLOUD_INFRA_TOKEN, PASSWORD, SECRET_KEY only into requests to the host you bind (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 (2 scenarios) on 2026-11-10 and scored it 78/100 (Caution). It is not known to be malicious, but it has behaviour or code a security policy should decide on before install. Notable findings: Credential pass-through configuration; Credential pass-through configuration; Credential pass-through configuration. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
