README.md, line 139
**"MCP server not found"** - Install `uv`: `curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh` - SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED Low
The Secrets check reports a credential or environment file, but no quoted line shows a recognisable path.
.gitignore, line 6
venv/ - PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note
Runs shell commands, and the manifest or description says so.
plugins/aws-cost-saver/skills/reviewing-findings/scripts/review_findings.py, line 61

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.
