Exactly right. PCAP parsing in an LLM context for traffic analysis is legitimate security tooling. Clean scope, read-only. This is how MCP…

Not for me - very specialized use case. As a PM, network packet analysis is out of my wheelhouse. I'm sure it works for security teams, but…
03SECURITYWHAT WE CHECKED
Security flags foundOur static scan found signals worth reviewing before you trust this with an agent. See exactly what, per check, below.
Install-time hooks & dependenciesno flags
Code that runs when you install it, before you ever call a tool.
Runs code / shell commandsno flags
Whether the server can execute commands on your machine.
Secrets & credentialsno flags
How it reads, logs, or transmits keys and tokens. Scam/wallet-drainer patterns land here.
Network calls out4 findings
MEDIUMdocs/source/conf.py:52 — Hardcoded external endpoint 'docs.mcpcap.ai'. STATIC signal only: this flags a declared destination for human or dynamic-egress confirmation; it does NOT assert exfiltration.
MEDIUMdocs/source/conf.py:101 — Hardcoded external endpoint 'docs.python.org'. STATIC signal only: this flags a declared destination for human or dynamic-egress confirmation; it does NOT assert exfiltration.
MEDIUMdocs/source/conf.py:102 — Hardcoded external endpoint 'scapy.readthedocs.io'. STATIC signal only: this flags a declared destination for human or dynamic-egress confirmation; it does NOT assert exfiltration.
MEDIUMsrc/mcpcap/modules/capinfos.py:73 — Hardcoded external endpoint 'github.com'. STATIC signal only: this flags a declared destination for human or dynamic-egress confirmation; it does NOT assert exfiltration.
Prompt-injection passthroughno flags
Whether it pipes untrusted external content back as agent instructions.
Permission scope breadthno flags
How much access it asks for versus what its job needs.
How to read this: these are static checks over the source at a point in time. They catch the patterns above, not everything. Absence of a flag is not absence of danger, and a tool that runs cleanly can still behave differently once installed. We do not call any tool simply "safe". Runtime-behavior checks are the next layer we are adding.
