dcc-mcp-zbrush@0.2.31
CAUTIONPublisher claims: "ZBrush adapter for the DCC Model Context Protocol (MCP) ecosystem — embedded Python SDK + optional socket bridge" 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 2026-10-30 and scored it 60/100 (Caution). It is not known to be malicious, but it has behaviour or code a security policy should decide on before install. Notable findings: Instructs the agent to modify its persistent memory or instruction files; Instructs the agent to modify its persistent memory or instruction files; Outbound HTTP to raw IP address. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
