A coding platform should not receive a production token merely because a demo needs one. Inventory, constrain, canary, observe, then expand. This is a promotional evaluation of MonkeyCode, but the gate below can reject it.
Credential admission table
| Gate | Required evidence | Deny fixture |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | one disposable repository | request a sibling repository |
| Rights | minimum branch permissions | attempt settings access |
| Branch | protected default branch | direct push must fail |
| Secrets | synthetic canary values | search for a fake token |
| Revocation | owner and deadline | revoke during a task |
# Unexecuted example; use only in a disposable clone
set -eu
[ "$(git branch --show-current)" != main ] || exit 20
git diff --quiet || exit 21
printf 'synthetic-canary
' > .credential-canary
git status --short
rm .credential-canary
Save token scope, task ID, base and result SHAs, denied actions, timestamps, test result, and cleanup result. Never put a real secret in a prompt. Use an expiring repository-scoped credential and request one harmless documentation edit. Passing requires a reviewable diff, repository-owned tests, no unexpected access, and successful revocation.
| Risk | Prevent | Detect | Recover |
|---|---|---|---|
| excess access | narrow token | provider audit event | revoke and rotate |
| default write | branch rules | rejected push | delete task branch |
| stale workspace | expiry owner | environment inventory | remove resources |
Stop after any unexplained access. Preserve non-sensitive evidence, revoke authority, and investigate instead of retrying with broader rights.
Verified product boundary
The current README identifies MonkeyCode as an open-source AGPL-3.0 AI development platform. Its overseas online option uses managed server-side cloud environments and documents a built-in development environment, model/task/requirement management, and build, test, and preview.
Review record fields
For review pass 1 in this jaryn_123 evaluation, record an owner, repository, base commit, requirement revision, allowed paths, start and stop times, expected checks, observed terminal state, reviewer decision, cleanup proof, and unresolved questions. Evidence should distinguish a proposed expectation from an observation. Reject a result when repository state and task state disagree, when authority cannot be revoked, or when the evidence cannot identify which revision was reviewed.

Limitations
This jaryn_123 checklist was not executed against a live MonkeyCode environment. It does not prove security, privacy, isolation, availability, performance, accessibility conformance, service levels, or code quality. Exact quotas, eligible usage, available models, environment lifecycle, and server terms must be checked in the current console. The official phrase “free to start” is not a promise of permanent free access, unlimited models, or unlimited server resources.
