aegisdb-mcp@0.9.4
CAUTIONPublisher claims: "Integrate AegisDB as persistent memory for Claude Code (MCP server + hooks)" Observed in sandbox: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
Is [email protected] safe to install?
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: Python subprocess execution detected; Python subprocess execution detected; Access to sensitive file paths. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
