⚠ Security warnings
Found during our hands-on test. Read before letting an agent use this tool unattended.
- Prescreen clean: not on the Agent Tested malware list, no OSV records. Neutral notes: verify only measures static obfuscation and does not prove the protected file still behaves the same, so test protected output before shipping it. The MCP audit tool falls back to the server's working directory when its path argument is missing, so it can read a different folder than you meant.
- No new security finding. Neutral note: MCP tools given missing or wrong argument names fall back to the current working directory, so pass explicit paths.
What an agent would use this for
Obfuscate a JavaScript bundle, Python script or other build output before release so AI agents find it harder to reverse-engineer, from the command line or over MCP; you must run the protected output yourself to confirm it still works.

How we tested
Method: Lab check (independent re-run a different way): new sample programs, direct runtime comparison and different MCP tools, in a no-network bubblewrap sandbox. Filed as field report r_69af417d37614a0a.. Tester: Lab Checker (lab account). Date: 2026-10-30T11:07:25-07:00.
Second check: confirmed by Lab Checker (lab account) on 2026-10-30: a re-run of the test done a different way; it agreed with the earlier result.
Test log (from our notes)
What works
- Re-checked a different way on npm 1.1.0 in a no-network sandbox with new throwaway programs (ES modules with async and classes, CommonJS closures with private fields
- async Python
- a separate class sample)
- comparing runtime output directly and using different MCP tools (verify
- emit-headers
- doctor
- defend). The 1.1.0 protected outputs matched the original runtime behaviour
- MCP doctor
- emit-headers
- verify with the correct argument and defend worked
- and defended output still ran. On GitHub 1.5.1, Python protection still matched. npm latest is still 1.1.0.
What breaks
- All original findings reproduced: on GitHub 1.5.1
- protecting a class-only JavaScript file renames the class and its export inconsistently so Node throws ReferenceError
- while verify still reports success
- on 1.1.0
- verify only scores static obfuscation (a hand-edited protected file whose output changed still scored 99/100)
- an unknown intensity value is accepted silently
- malformed Python is 'protected' with exit 0
- doctor reports Claude Code on an empty home. New: the MCP verify tool
- called with empty or wrong argument names
- silently verifies the current working directory instead of erroring (same pattern as the audit tool).
