Latest receipt: 3 of 8 checks flagged — the findings below are the record. SHA-256 of the exact bytes scanned: 371e8c991df6e5e61ca6a864d692141dbf1a728ae0790d376b54c96b91e4ff13 · 120055 bytes · scanned 2026-10-27T12:19:03.680Z · scanner resource-scan-v1 · ledger entry 1512.

Analysis is static only: the bytes were read as text and were never executed, installed or run. Nothing was fetched from behind a login.

Checks (latest receipt)

• Outbound network references — flag

  The scanned bytes reference outbound network activity to these domains: aka.ms, api.githubcopilot.com, code.visualstudio.com, copilot-api.octocorp.ghe.com, docs.github.com, github.com, goreportcard.com, img.shields.io, insiders.vscode.dev, octocorp.ghe.com, www.docker.com, yoursubdomain.ghe.com. Any resource that reaches the network can send data out as well as bring data in; the findings name what the bytes reference, and the reader decides whether that fits the resource's stated purpose.

  Evidence: domain: aka.ms; domain: api.githubcopilot.com; domain: code.visualstudio.com; domain: copilot-api.octocorp.ghe.com; domain: docs.github.com; domain: github.com; domain: goreportcard.com; domain: img.shields.io; domain: insiders.vscode.dev; domain: octocorp.ghe.com; domain: www.docker.com; domain: yoursubdomain.ghe.com; fetch / XMLHttpRequest / WebSocket calls

• Credential and environment access — flag

  The scanned bytes contain credential or environment access patterns: secret-named variables (API_KEY, SECRET, TOKEN, PASSWORD and similar names); credential file paths (.env, .ssh, credential stores). The receipt names the pattern kinds only; no credential value is reproduced here.

  Evidence: secret-named variables (API_KEY, SECRET, TOKEN, PASSWORD and similar names); credential file paths (.env, .ssh, credential stores)

• Install and postinstall hooks — pass

  No install or postinstall hooks were found in the scanned bytes.

• Obfuscation and encoded payloads — pass

  No obfuscation or encoded-payload signs were found in the scanned bytes.

• Shell-outs and download-and-execute — pass

  No shell-out or download-and-execute patterns were found in the scanned bytes.

• Permission declarations vs behavior — flag

  The bytes show network, credentials behavior, and no permissions declaration was found in the scanned bytes to compare it against.

  Evidence: behavior: network; behavior: credentials

• Known-bad indicators — pass

  None of the scanner's published known-bad indicator patterns matched the scanned bytes.

• Provenance facts (weak signals) — pass

  Provenance facts, labeled weak signals — they say where the bytes sit, not what the bytes do: source host: github.com; repository: github/github-mcp-server; bytes scanned: 120055; fetched from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/github-mcp-server/HEAD/README.md.

  Evidence: source host: github.com; repository: github/github-mcp-server; bytes scanned: 120055; fetched from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/github-mcp-server/HEAD/README.md
