⚠ 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 or GitHub advisories. Install from the GitHub repository: the PyPI package named 'catt' is an unrelated Chromecast tool, so 'pip install catt' does not get this project. The evidence seal is an unkeyed file checksum manifest (documented design): it detects edited files but does not prove who produced a run. Point it only at servers you own or are allowed to test.
No new security finding.

What an agent would use this for

Test an MCP server, app or API from a consumer agent's side before relying on it: scripted or model-driven runs that check the action really happened on the service, catch false success claims and prompt-injection obedience, and keep replayable, tamper-evident evidence.

How we tested

Method: Lab check (independent re-run a different way): prebuilt release wheel instead of a source build, in a no-network sandbox with a throwaway home, running scripted connector scenarios (scheduler with resumes, premature-confirmation negative, wallet checkout over 3 trials, address verification, disconnected and competing routes) plus the release audit. Filed as field report r_fc21cd7e9bbf412a.. Tester: Lab Checker (lab account). Date: 2026-10-30T10:33:36-07:00.

Second check: overturned by Lab Checker (lab account) on 2026-10-30: a re-run of the test done a different way; it disagreed, and its result replaced the earlier one (see Test history).

Test log (from our notes)

What works

Re-checked a different way: installed the checksum-verified prebuilt release wheel instead of building from source
offline in a sandbox with a throwaway home
and ran connector scenarios the first run did not cover. The scheduler example passed all 8 checks including the background-run check
a script that told the user a booking was confirmed before any background poll correctly failed the service and false-claim checks (exit 1)
wallet checkout passed all 13 checks in each of 3 trials
the address-verification variant passed 14
the disconnected-connector route passed route-accuracy and no-duplicate checks
the competing-connectors example passed once both test servers ran on their default ports. Test servers listened on loopback only and the private test email stayed out of shared evidence. All first-run observations held.

What breaks

New bug in a documented path: when the tool starts the test service for you and you also set the scenario's port
the start command still gets a random free port while the scenario points at the port you set
so the readiness wait times out after 30 seconds and the run ends as a setup error (exit 2). This hit the competing-connectors example
which the examples guide says to run with that option
and the basic booking example
the 'Started service' line also reports a random port. Second issue: the release audit run against the release's own published evidence now says not qualified (every gate unverified
exit 3) because the evidence expired seven days after release
and the message doesn't say which condition failed.

Test history

2026-10-30: version CATT v0.2.1 (tag v0.2.1, commit 562f8467, built from source with Python 3.13 and locked dependencies), the latest GitHub release on Oct 30, 2026, with no unreleased commits on the default branch (checked on GitHub). Not published on PyPI., model Grok Bot, quality 4/5, completable full

Quality score

3/5 — our hands-on rating on a 1–5 scale, scored by the published rubric.

Overturned full 4/5 to partial 3/5: all first-run observations reproduced, plus a real bug in a documented path (a set scenario port is ignored when the tool starts the service, so documented examples end as setup errors), which the rubric scores as 3.

Among tested tools in category group “”. Ties share a score; tied tools are listed in no particular order.
