Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.

Rescanned at commit abdde261c347, unchanged since the check below.

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV OBFUSCATION_FILE_CAP_REACHED

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    evals/run_behavior.py, line 201 result = subprocess.run([rg, "--files", "--hidden", "-g", "SKILL.md", str(root)],

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    evals/run_behavior.py, line 79 put(path / ".env", "API_TOKEN=APA_SYNTHETIC_SECRET_91C70_NOT_REAL\n")

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_CAP_REACHED Note

    The 400 file cap was reached before every file was read.

    evals/results/2026-08-31-rigorous-audit/behavior/runs/pricing-fixture--r2--baseline/trace.jsonl, line 1 {"type":"thread.started","thread_id":"01a054e1-7817-72f1-9088-4f016f0a7c0e"}

Any High, or two or more Medium findings, give D. One Medium gives C. Low findings or a security Note give B. Each code names a finding behind the letter.

Grades are a hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, on the date checked, not a security audit or a guarantee. The free directory grades are automated. Before release, a PlugVet engineer reviews every paid report and any grade we hold back, including all F grades, against the source code and the evidence we quote.
