Questions

Is it safe to paste a token here?

The token is read in this tab and never sent. Even so, treat live tokens carefully: anyone who has one can use it until it expires.

Does the JWT decoder check the signature?

No. It shows what is inside. A token that decodes is not necessarily genuine, because anyone can write one. Only your server, with the key, can check a signature.
