Verdict

No malicious behavior observed

We ran it 1 time, with a normal setup. It contacted api.appgoat.ai. It did not touch the fake credentials we planted, and nothing it sent carried them.

2 findings. Scanned 27 Oct 2026 by detonator 0.5.1.

What this package does

observed across 1 run
  1. Package find-app-ideas 4 files · agent skill
  2. Install No install stepFiles were copied in as they are.
  3. Runs as ls -lals -R ./skillhead -50cat ./skill/reference/api.md An AI agent also used it 1 time.
  4. What it reached
    Network
    • api.appgoat.ai 6 connections, 844 B sent
    Credentials
    • ./.envread
    Files written

    Nothing outside its own folder.

We planted fake AWS, SSH, npm and GitHub keys and a .env file before every run. Red means something left or was planted to run later.

Findings

F01 Low

Network destinations contacted

Confidence
Info The package connected to these hosts.
Observed in
llm:baseline

Description

Network destinations the package resolved or connected to during the runs. All traffic was captured by the sandbox; nothing reached the internet.

Impact

Context only. Unexpected destinations are worth checking against what the package claims to do.

Evidence

api.appgoat.ai

Remediation

Confirm each host is expected (the package's API, its registry). Allowlist expected egress in production.

F02 Low

Loaded the project's .env file

Confidence
Info The package loaded the project's .env file.
Observed in
llm:baseline

Description

The process loaded the project's .env file. Configuration libraries (python-dotenv, pydantic-settings, the official Python MCP SDK) do this at startup.

Impact

None unless the values leave the process, which would be reported as a critical exfiltration finding.

Evidence

./.env (by cat, grep)

Remediation

No action needed. Keep long-lived secrets out of project .env files where possible.

Observed behavior only. A clean result does not prove a package is safe. Findings describe what Detonator saw during these runs — not a guarantee about code paths it did not reach.
