Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

gutcheck

gutcheck is a simple, smart tool that helps your computer make fast, confident decisions, like a quick gut feeling, but powered by your computer's own brain (called an NPU or GPU).

Compatibility: Not stated.

Grade B

Minor issues only, no Medium or High. Worth a quick look at the findings below before installing.

Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

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

Rescanned at commit be173afc593b, unchanged since the check below.

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    src/gutcheck/lease/claude.py, line 56 subprocess.Popen([PYTHON, "-m", "gutcheck", "lease", "serve"], **kw)

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

    Makes a network call whose host is not written as a fixed address.

    examples/jev_compatible_client.py, line 21 with urllib.request.urlopen(r) as resp:

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    data/lease/train.jsonl, line 597 {"prompt": "Fetch the raw content of .env.example from the main branch of acme/web on GitHub so I can check which third-party keys are needed.", "needs": ["github__get_file_content

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

    Reads an environment variable whose name contains KEY, SECRET, TOKEN, PASSWORD or CREDENTIAL.

    src/gutcheck/server.py, line 127 api_key = api_key or os.environ.get("GUTCHECK_API_KEY")

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.
