CAUTION· not started

Publisher claims: "MCP server for Recruit CRM" Observed in sandbox: calls astral.sh only, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.

Coverage

Not started: dependency install failed; the server itself was not observed.
Tested
install scripts, with decoy credentials in place · second launch with the clock 45 days ahead · 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
RECRUIT_CRM_API_KEYRECRUIT_CRM_MCP_SENTRY_DSNSENTRY_DSNConfiguration, not credentials: RCRM_SMOKE_WRITES, RECRUIT_CRM_MCP_ENV, RECRUIT_CRM_MCP_SENTRY_TRACES_RATE
Where it talks to
recruitcrm.io (its own)Also astral.sh, linkedin.com, githubusercontent.com, stoplight.io, python-httpx.org — not the publisher's domain; check what for before connecting.
What the honeypot saw
no credential files read · reached only astral.sh
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 astral.sh, linkedin.com, githubusercontent.com, stoplight.io, python-httpx.org as well as its own vendor. The guard injects RECRUIT_CRM_API_KEY, RECRUIT_CRM_MCP_SENTRY_DSN, SENTRY_DSN only into requests to recruitcrm.io (and its subdomains) and refuses the rest.

$vet-skills run --secrets RECRUIT_CRM_API_KEY=recruitcrm.io,RECRUIT_CRM_MCP_SENTRY_DSN=recruitcrm.io,SENTRY_DSN=recruitcrm.io -- uvx recruit-crm-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 (3 scenarios; not started: dependency install failed; the server itself was not observed) on 2026-11-15 and scored it 62/100 (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; Pipe-to-shell pattern; Direct script execution from GitHub raw URL. Summary: calls astral.sh only, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
