mcpaisuite-sandboxmcp@1.1.0
CAUTION· not startedPublisher claims: "Secure, polyglot code execution engine for AI agents with MCP support" Observed in sandbox: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
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: Caution 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.
Before you give it your token
- It will ask for
SANDBOXMCP_API_KEYSConfiguration, not credentials: SANDBOX_OUTPUT_DIR, SANDBOXMCP_API_HOST, SANDBOXMCP_API_PORT, SANDBOXMCP_AUDIT, SANDBOXMCP_BACKEND, SANDBOXMCP_CORS_ORIGINS, SANDBOXMCP_HOST_ACCESS, SANDBOXMCP_HOST_AUTO_APPROVE, SANDBOXMCP_IMAGE, SANDBOXMCP_MAX_CONCURRENT, SANDBOXMCP_MAX_RAM_MB, SANDBOXMCP_NETWORK, SANDBOXMCP_SQLITE_PATH, SANDBOXMCP_TIMEOUT, SANDBOXMCP_VAULT- Where it talks to
- no vendor host named in the code
- 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. It asks for SANDBOXMCP_API_KEYS and talks to its vendor. Give the credential to the guard, not the server: the value never enters the server's environment and only travels to the host you bind. What the tools do with a real credential was not observed.
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 2026-11-10 and scored it 68/100 (Caution). It is not known to be malicious, but it has behaviour or code a security policy should decide on before install. Notable findings: Access to sensitive file paths; Destructive file system command detected; OS command execution function call detected. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
