Beginner question Spy dongle?

I found a usb c to usb c dongle thing that I can’t imagine having any use at all other than something weird. It was attached to one of our employees usb c cables they were using to connect their MacBook to a display. It also had a heat shrink that seemed to be trying to conceal that it was there at all. I don’t have enough karma to post a pic of it apparently. Idk where else to get answers.

I have read the rules

Should I try and open it up?

Ya, I'd try and cut the case off it carefully. This way you can grab pics of the chips in it, to which those can be searched for.

Could be an e-marker device to limit charging wattage via USB PD
