5 threat patterns detected

high

tls connection failed

Could not establish TLS connection

high

brand impersonation

The domain 'keybaseapi.com' impersonates Keybase, a legitimate identity and cryptography service at keybase.io. The addition of 'api' creates a convincing lookalike domain that could deceive users and AI agents into trusting it as an official Keybase API endpoint. (location: domain: keybaseapi.com)

high

credential harvesting

The domain mimics the Keybase brand and targets the 'API' surface, which is a common vector for harvesting API keys, tokens, or cryptographic credentials from developers and automated agents that integrate with Keybase services. (location: domain: keybaseapi.com)

high

phishing

TLS is not connected and the certificate is invalid (connected=false, cert_valid=false), meaning any credentials or data submitted to this domain would be transmitted insecurely. Combined with the brand impersonation, this is consistent with a phishing infrastructure. (location: metadata.json: tls block)

medium

malicious redirect

The site returns no HTML content and no visible text despite being reachable enough for metadata to be collected. An empty page is consistent with a site used as a redirect intermediary, a placeholder for future malicious deployment, or a page that only activates under specific conditions (e.g., targeted user-agent or referrer). (location: page.html, page-text.txt (empty content))

FAQ: how to interpret this assessment

Common questions teams ask before deciding whether to use this domain in agent workflows.

Is keybaseapi.com safe for AI agents to use?

keybaseapi.com currently scores 46/100 with a suspicious verdict and medium confidence. The goal is to protect agents from high-risk context before they act on it. Treat this as a decision signal: higher scores suggest lower observed risk, while lower scores mean you should add review or block this domain.

How should I interpret the score and verdict?

Use the score as a policy threshold: 80–100 is safe, 50–79 is caution, 20–49 is suspicious, and 0–19 is dangerous. Teams often auto-allow safe, require human review for caution/suspicious, and block dangerous.

How does brin compute this domain score?

brin evaluates four dimensions: identity (source trust), behavior (runtime patterns), content (malicious instructions), and graph (relationship risk). Analysis runs in tiers: static signals, deterministic pattern checks, then AI semantic analysis when needed.

What do identity, behavior, content, and graph mean for this domain?

Identity checks source trust, behavior checks unusual runtime patterns, content checks for malicious instructions, and graph checks risky relationships to other entities. Looking at sub-scores helps you understand why an entity passed or failed.

Why does brin scan packages, repos, skills, MCP servers, pages, and commits?

brin performs risk assessments on external context before it reaches an AI agent. It scores that context for threats like prompt injection, hijacking, credential harvesting, and supply chain attacks, so teams can decide whether to block, review, or proceed safely.

Can I rely on a safe verdict as a full security guarantee?

No. A safe verdict means no significant risk signals were detected in this scan. It is not a formal guarantee; assessments are automated and point-in-time, so combine scores with your own controls and periodic re-checks.

When should I re-check before using an entity?

Re-check before high-impact actions such as installs, upgrades, connecting MCP servers, executing remote code, or granting secrets. Use the API in CI or runtime gates so decisions are based on the latest scan.
