CAUTION

Publisher claims: "Reticle CLI, bridge and MCP server: a coding agent drives your running web app from the inside and gets a verdict with evidence, for change verification, access control, accessibility, performance and SEO checks." Observed in sandbox: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.

KillerSkills ran it in the KillerSkills honeypot sandbox (2 scenarios) on 2026-10-26 and scored it 63/100 (Caution). It is not known to be malicious, but it has behaviour or code a security policy should decide on before install. Notable findings: Pipe-to-shell pattern; npx invocation of non-well-known package; npx invocation of non-well-known package. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
