typosquat

Repository owned by 'shin-bot-litellm' (27-day-old unverified org, 2 stars) impersonates BerriAI, the legitimate LiteLLM organization. The README contains an HTML comment '<!-- mcp-name: io.github.BerriAI/litellm-mcp -->' claiming BerriAI authorship, and the git clone URL points to 'github.com/BerriAI/litellm-agent-mcp' (the real org, not this repo's actual owner). Links to official BerriAI docs create false association with the trusted LiteLLM project (50k+ stars). (location: README.md:4,60)

supply chain

README instructs users to 'pip install litellm-agent-mcp' but the repository contains zero source code — no Python files, no setup.py, no pyproject.toml. Combined with the BerriAI impersonation, this suggests a potential PyPI package name squat designed to capture users who trust the LiteLLM brand. A malicious package could be published under this name to harvest API keys (the MCP config example includes OPENAI_API_KEY and ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in env vars). (location: README.md:54)

FAQ: how to interpret this assessment

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

Is shin-bot-litellm/litellm-agent-mcp safe for AI agents to use?

shin-bot-litellm/litellm-agent-mcp currently scores 20/100 with a suspicious verdict and low 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 repository.

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 repository 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 repository?

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.
