Coverage

Static only; nothing was run yet.

The label rests on the code, the instruction files and the publisher. The honeypot run replaces this verdict when it completes.

Where it talks to
no vendor host named in the codeAlso firecrawl.dev, bochaai.com, exa.ai, jina.ai, tavily.com — not the publisher's domain; check what for before connecting.
What the honeypot saw
nothing has run yet
What we could not test
everything: the server has not run yet

Run it before you trust it. Nothing has run yet: the code was read, the server was not. `vet-skills try` runs this exact version in the honeypot in about a minute.

KillerSkills analysed it statically (a sandbox run is pending) on 2026-11-09 and scored it 57/100 (Caution). It is not known to be malicious, but it has behaviour or code a security policy should decide on before install.
