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
DATA_AI_API_KEYFIGMA_TOKENGITHUB_TOKENUNWRAP_ACCESS_TOKENConfiguration, not credentials: GITHUB_REPO, GREETING_TEMPLATE, UNWRAP_TEAM_ID, WORKING_DIR, WORKING_PATH
Where it talks to
no vendor host named in the codeAlso microsoft.com, azure.com, mobbin.com, figma.com, aka.ms, chromestatus.com, data.ai, reddit.com, unwrap.ai, appmotion.design, pinterest.com, microsoftonline.com, azurewebsites.net — 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 microsoft.com, azure.com, mobbin.com, figma.com, aka.ms, chromestatus.com, data.ai, reddit.com, unwrap.ai, appmotion.design, pinterest.com, microsoftonline.com, azurewebsites.net as well as its own vendor. The guard injects DATA_AI_API_KEY, FIGMA_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN, UNWRAP_ACCESS_TOKEN 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.

Is [email protected] safe to install?

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: Access to sensitive file paths; Hex-encoded string detected; Credential pass-through configuration. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
