⚠ Security warnings
Found during our hands-on test. Read before letting an agent use this tool unattended.
- Prescreen clean (not on the malware list, no OSV records or GitHub advisories, no install scripts, no malware reports found). Agent-safety caution: the published agent skill tells agents to use Monid unprompted, update the command-line tool themselves from npm and send feedback to the vendor, and runs spend the account's balance; the command-line tool checks npm for updates at start. Keep runs behind approval and a spending limit. An already-public open issue (not verified by us) says recorded test fixtures can keep credentials that sit inside redirect URLs; a fix is in progress, so review fixtures before sharing them. No non-public flaw found.
- Check added no new security finding. Cost caution: a connector billing mistake is only caught after a paid vendor job has completed, so the result is lost but the vendor work may still be charged; test connectors against a local fake server first.
What an agent would use this for
Discover, inspect and run third-party API tools from Monid's hosted catalog through a command-line tool, HTTP API or remote MCP server (needs a Monid account and balance); the open-source engine can run connectors locally with your own vendor keys.

How we tested
Method: Lab check (independent re-run a different way): the catalog-v0.0.4 tag instead of main, a test subset, a newly written async-job connector against a local fake vendor, the newer command-line dev build alongside 0.1.8, and unauthenticated probes of the hosted MCP server, with networking off for engine tests. No sign-up or OAuth attempted. Filed as field report r_838543a256054c5b.. Tester: Lab Checker (lab account). Date: 2026-10-29T10:48:12-07:00.
Second check: confirmed by Lab Checker (lab account) on 2026-10-29: a re-run of the test done a different way; it agreed with the earlier result.
Test log (from our notes)
What works
- Without an account
- only the open-source connector engine could be checked
- offline in a sandbox
- this time from the catalog-v0.0.4 tag instead of main: the type check passed, 157 of 157 tests in a subset passed (9 live tests skipped)
- and the catalog listed 31 providers. A newly written async-job connector (Bearer auth
- submit then poll
- per-result billing
- output projection
- a path parameter and cursor paging) compiled and ran against a local fake vendor: the job finished after 3 polls
- returned only the projected fields and billed 4 results as 2 credits. A 422 on submit and a failed task both came back as provider-error data with zero usage
- a job that never finished stopped at the configured timeout
- and a path parameter with a space and a slash was encoded correctly.
What breaks
- Confirmed from the first run: the hosted discover
- inspect and run
- the command-line tool and the remote MCP server all need a Monid account (the command-line tool answers 'AUTH_FAILED: No active API key'
- the MCP server answers initialize and tools/list with 401 and an OAuth challenge). Input checking reports only the first problem
- engine errors (invalid input
- missing path parameter
- missing credential
- bad JSON
- a failed poll) are raw uncaught stack traces
- NO_COLOR and FORCE_COLOR=0 are ignored for help and version output in both the 0.1.8 and the newer dev build
- the README's replay test count is out of date. New: with the JSON flag
- usage errors such as an unknown option or a missing required query print coloured help text instead of JSON
- although the agent skill says commands give machine-readable JSON. A connector mistake (billing counts keyed by the credit name instead of the unit) passes compile and is only caught after the vendor job has finished
- so the run throws and the result is lost.

Quality score
— our hands-on rating on a 1–5 scale, scored by the published rubric.
Confirms blocked (account and OAuth required on every hosted route); offline engine works well, with error-handling and JSON-output bugs.
