Coverage

Startup only; authenticated tool behavior not tested.
Tested
install scripts, with decoy credentials in place · second launch with the clock 45 days ahead · server startup over stdio (initialize sent) · every file read, file written and host contacted by what ran
Not tested
the tool list (the server exited before answering) · what the tools do when called with real credentials

What this means for the label: Verified 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
BW_CLIENTSECRET or --clientsecretConfiguration, not credentials: BW_BIN, BW_CLIENTID, BW_UNLOCK_INTERVAL, BW_USER, BW_USERNAME, KEYCHAIN_ALLOW_ENV_FALLBACK, KEYCHAIN_BW_HOME_ROOT, KEYCHAIN_DEBUG_BW, KEYCHAIN_DEBUG_HTTP, KEYCHAIN_MAX_HEAP_USED_MB, KEYCHAIN_METRICS_LOG_INTERVAL_MS, KEYCHAIN_SESSION_MAX_COUNT, KEYCHAIN_SESSION_SWEEP_INTERVAL_MS, KEYCHAIN_SESSION_TTL_MS, KEYCHAIN_SYNC_ON_WRITE, KEYCHAIN_TEXT_COMPAT_MODE, MCP_APP_NAME, TOOL_PREFIX, TOOL_SEPARATOR, WARDEN_MCP_HOST, WARDEN_MCP_STDIO
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
the tool list (the server exited before answering) · what the tools do when called with real credentials

Connect it with a scoped credential, under the guard. It asks for BW_CLIENTSECRET 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. What the tools do with a real credential was not observed.

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 (3 scenarios; startup only; authenticated tool behavior not tested) on 2026-11-13 and scored it 89/100 (Verified). In what ran, nothing we could detect went wrong: no undeclared network egress, no credential reads, no persistent instruction writes. What it does with a real credential was not observed; the static findings and the publisher carry the rest of the score. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
