mcptoon@0.8.31

CAUTION

Publisher claims: "One zero-dependency CLI to manage every MCP server and agent skill: token optimization for tool discovery (71,929 -> 581 tokens, -99.2% measured, schemas stay out of context), one config for every agent." Observed in sandbox: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.

KillerSkills ran it in the KillerSkills honeypot sandbox (2 scenarios) on 2026-10-27 and scored it 51/100 (Caution). It is not known to be malicious, but it has behaviour or code a security policy should decide on before install. Notable findings: Reads credential paths from the home directory; Prompt injection attempt; OS command execution function call detected. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
