taskgraph-ai@0.63.47

CAUTION· not started

Publisher claims: "Task management for AI-driven development, built for Claude Code: plan from a PRD, then work tasks one at a time with slash commands, a CLI or an MCP server." Observed in sandbox: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.

Coverage

Not started: dependency install failed; the server itself was not observed.
Tested
the dependency install step · every file read, file written and host contacted by what ran
Not tested
server startup · the tool list · tool behavior

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.

Before you give it your token

It will ask for
CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKENConfiguration, not credentials: CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID, CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL, MCP_MODE, NoDefaultCurrentDirectoryInExePath, PATHEXT, TASKGRAPH_ALLOW_METADATA_UPDATES, TASKGRAPH_DEBUG, TASKGRAPH_HOOK_DIR, TASKGRAPH_LOG_LEVEL, TASKGRAPH_LOOP_CHILD, TASKGRAPH_MCP, TASKGRAPH_NO_COLOR, TASKGRAPH_ORIGINAL_CWD, TASKGRAPH_PARALLEL_WORKER, TASKGRAPH_PROJECT_ROOT, TASKGRAPH_SILENT, TASKGRAPH_TAG, TASKGRAPH_TOOLS, TM_HIDE_BANNER, TM_LOG_LEVEL, TM_PUBLIC_VERSION, TM_SILENT
Where it talks to
no vendor host named in the codeAlso x.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
server startup · the tool list · tool behavior

Connect it with a scoped credential, under the guard, and read the third-party hosts first. The code names x.com as well as its own vendor. The guard injects CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN only into requests to the host you bind (and its subdomains) and refuses the rest.

$vet-skills run --net declared -- npx -y taskgraph-ai

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; not started: dependency install failed; the server itself was not observed) on 2026-11-11 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: Access to sensitive file paths; Access to sensitive file paths; Auto-update or dynamic fetch configuration. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
