A fix the maintainer can act on, with the evidence attached. It opens under your GitHub account in your browser; KillerSkills holds no token and never modifies the package. The fix is verified the only way we verify anything: the next crawl re-runs the new version in the honeypot. 50 · Caution
Evidence
The sandbox observed nothing beyond the static findings; the proposal cites those.

Title: presto-mcp: Hidden zero-width characters detected (KillerSkills verdict caution 50)
## What the honeypot observed KillerSkills ran **[email protected]** in an isolated sandbox (decoy credentials, recording proxy, syscall trace; engine 1.8.1) and scored it **CAUTION 50/100**. Summary: static analysis only — behavior not yet observed. - See the findings below. Full trace and findings: https://killerskills.ai/skills/pypi/presto-mcp/0.1.0 ## Findings with a location - `src/presto_mcp/parsers/ddplan_parser.py:23` · Hidden zero-width characters detected — src/presto_mcp/parsers/ddplan_parser.py:23 · Hidden zero-width characters detected — may conceal content - `src/presto_mcp/parsers/realfft_parser.py:17` · Hidden zero-width characters detected — src/presto_mcp/parsers/realfft_parser.py:17 · Hidden zero-width characters detected — may conceal content - `src/presto_mcp/parsers/accelsearch_parser.py:18` · Hidden zero-width characters detected — src/presto_mcp/parsers/accelsearch_parser.py:18 · Hidden zero-width characters detected — may conceal content - `src/presto_mcp/parsers/rrattrap_parser.py:19` · Hidden zero-width characters detected — src/presto_mcp/parsers/rrattrap_parser.py:19 · Hidden zero-width characters detected — may conceal content - `src/presto_mcp/parsers/make_spd_parser.py:18` · Hidden zero-width characters detected — src/presto_mcp/parsers/make_spd_parser.py:18 · Hidden zero-width characters detected — may conceal content - `src/presto_mcp/parsers/waterfaller_parser.py:17` · Hidden zero-width characters detected — src/presto_mcp/parsers/waterfaller_parser.py:17 · Hidden zero-width characters detected — may conceal content - `src/presto_mcp/parsers/plot_spd_parser.py:17` · Hidden zero-width characters detected — src/presto_mcp/parsers/plot_spd_parser.py:17 · Hidden zero-width characters detected — may conceal content - `src/presto_mcp/parsers/single_pulse_search_parser.py:19` · Hidden zero-width characters detected — src/presto_mcp/parsers/single_pulse_search_parser.py:19 · Hidden zero-width characters detected — may conceal content - `src/presto_mcp/parsers/get_toas_parser.py:19` · Hidden zero-width characters detected — src/presto_mcp/parsers/get_toas_parser.py:19 · Hidden zero-width characters detected — may conceal content - `src/presto_mcp/parsers/sifting_parser.py:20` · Hidden zero-width characters detected — src/presto_mcp/parsers/sifting_parser.py:20 · Hidden zero-width characters detected — may conceal content - `src/presto_mcp/parsers/rfifind_parser.py:21` · Hidden zero-width characters detected — src/presto_mcp/parsers/rfifind_parser.py:21 · Hidden zero-width characters detected — may conceal content - `src/presto_mcp/parsers/prepsubband_parser.py:18` · Hidden zero-width characters detected — src/presto_mcp/parsers/prepsubband_parser.py:18 · Hidden zero-width characters detected — may conceal content ## Proposed change The attached patch removes the 15 lines above. If the behavior is intended, the fix is to declare it instead: list the host under `permissions.network` (or the MCP manifest) and say in the README why the package needs it; the next crawl will re-score it with the declaration taken into account. ## How this will be verified Nothing is "verified safe" by assertion. When a new version is published, KillerSkills re-runs it in the honeypot and the verdict page updates; you can trigger it early from the verdict page ("Re-scan after I publish a fix"). Reply here or at [email protected] if you believe the verdict is wrong; disputes are reviewed by a person and the outcome is published on the verdict page. _Proposed through killerskills.ai/threats by a user of the package, under their own GitHub account. The evidence is public; the package was never modified by KillerSkills._
