Coverage

Not started: dependency install failed; the server itself was not observed.
Tested
the dependency install step · every file read, file written and host contacted by what ran
Not tested
server startup · the tool list · tool behavior

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.

Where it talks to
no vendor host named in the codeAlso google.com, visualstudio.com, theresanaiforthat.com, arxiv.org, codepen.io, dev.to, echojs.com, juejin.cn, medium.com, reddit.com, v2ex.com, react.dev, remoteok.com, wordpress.org, akismet.com — not the publisher's domain; check what for before connecting.
What the honeypot saw
no credential files read · no network
What we could not test
server startup · the tool list · tool behavior

Connect it with a scoped credential, under the guard, and read the third-party hosts first. The code names google.com, visualstudio.com, theresanaiforthat.com, arxiv.org, codepen.io, dev.to, echojs.com, juejin.cn, medium.com, reddit.com, v2ex.com, react.dev, remoteok.com, wordpress.org, akismet.com as well as its own vendor. The guard injects GITHUB_TOKEN, HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN, OPENROUTER_API_KEY, PRODUCTHUNT_API_KEY, PRODUCTHUNT_API_SECRET, REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET, SEMANTICSCHOLAR_API_KEY only into requests to the host you bind (and its subdomains) and refuses the rest.

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 (2 scenarios; not started: dependency install failed; the server itself was not observed) on 2026-11-09 and scored it 86/100 (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.
