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
CALCULATOR_CURRENCY_API_KEYTWINE_PASSWORDConfiguration, not credentials: CALCULATOR_CURRENCY_CACHE_HOURS, CALCULATOR_ENABLE_CURRENCY_CONVERSION, CALCULATOR_PRECISION, NEW_PATCH, RESULTS_DIR
Where it talks to
no vendor host named in the codeAlso exchangerate-api.com, astral.sh — 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 exchangerate-api.com, astral.sh as well as its own vendor. The guard injects CALCULATOR_CURRENCY_API_KEY, TWINE_PASSWORD only into requests to the host you bind (and its subdomains) and refuses the rest.

$vet-skills run --net declared -- uvx p6plab-mcp-calculator

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 2026-11-14 and scored it 79/100 (Caution). It is not known to be malicious, but it has behaviour or code a security policy should decide on before install. Notable findings: Pipe-to-shell pattern. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
