CAUTION

Publisher claims: "Delegate mechanical text tasks to a local OpenAI-compatible LLM endpoint to conserve Claude subscription quota." Observed in sandbox: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.

KillerSkills ran it in the KillerSkills honeypot sandbox (1 scenario) on 2026-11-06 and scored it 65/100 (Caution). It is not known to be malicious, but it has behaviour or code a security policy should decide on before install. Notable findings: Outbound HTTP to raw IP address; Hidden zero-width characters detected; Destructive file system command detected. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
