Runs a security finding through Bounty Operator's eight pre-submission stages in order (scope, provenance, prior art, proof, severity, triager, report, verdict) on the bounty-operator MCP server, stops at a drop or duplicate gate, then builds the evidence packet and reports the verdict, the blocker and the cheapest action that removes it. Use when the user wants the full pre-submission check on a bug bounty finding and has a Bounty Operator connection token and a provider key. Without them…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# Gauntlet

The gauntlet takes one finding through eight stages, in the order that ends a weak report early, and ends with one verdict. Seven stages are hosted: their method runs on the Bounty Operator server and is not in this skill. This skill only calls the tools of the `bounty-operator` MCP server, in order, and reports what they return. It never submits anything.

## What it needs

- The `bounty-operator` MCP server. The Claude Code plugin adds the remote endpoint; any other client adds it with the commands at https://bountyoperator.com/mcp.
- A connection token. Create one in the account panel at https://bountyoperator.com/#account. The plugin reads it from `BOUNTY_OPERATOR_TOKEN`; the local server reads the same variable.
- A provider key for the model the hosted stages run on. The plugin sends `BOUNTY_OPERATOR_PROVIDER_KEY` as the `X-Provider-Key` header. The local server reads the provider's own variable, such as `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bountyoperator/bounty-operator/gauntlet@sha256:e56204d4e43ac188

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.9.21, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
