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

Where it talks to
point-topic.com (its own)Also fastmcp.app, brew.sh, mongodb.org, mongodb.com — 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 fastmcp.app, brew.sh, mongodb.org, mongodb.com as well as its own vendor. The guard injects AUTH0_AUDIENCE, AUTH0_CLIENT_ID, AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET, AUTH0_DOMAIN, CHART_API_KEY, CLICKHOUSE_PASSWORD, CLIENT_SECRET, PYPI_TOKEN, SNOWFLAKE_PASSWORD only into requests to point-topic.com (and its subdomains) and refuses the rest.

$vet-skills run --secrets AUTH0_AUDIENCE=point-topic.com,AUTH0_CLIENT_ID=point-topic.com,AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET=point-topic.com,AUTH0_DOMAIN=point-topic.com,CHART_API_KEY=point-topic.com,CLICKHOUSE_PASSWORD=point-topic.com,CLIENT_SECRET=point-topic.com,PYPI_TOKEN=point-topic.com,SNOWFLAKE_PASSWORD=point-topic.com -- uvx point-topic-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 72/100 (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; Privileged sudo command; Privileged sudo command. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
