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
MCP_BEARER_TOKENSMCP_SESSION_SECRETConfiguration, not credentials: ENVIRONMENT, GITHUB_OUTPUT, KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST, MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS, MCP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS, OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT, OTEL_SERVICE_NAME, RAILWAY_PROJECT_ID, RENDER
Where it talks to
parlament.ch (its own)Also shields.io — 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 shields.io as well as its own vendor. The guard injects MCP_BEARER_TOKENS, MCP_SESSION_SECRET only into requests to parlament.ch (and its subdomains) and refuses the rest.

$vet-skills run --secrets MCP_BEARER_TOKENS=parlament.ch,MCP_SESSION_SECRET=parlament.ch -- uvx parlament-mcp

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 75/100 (Caution). It is not known to be malicious, but it has behaviour or code a security policy should decide on before install. Notable findings: Bidirectional text override characters detected; Hidden zero-width characters detected; Hidden zero-width characters detected. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
