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

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    src/hermeneutic/compile.py, line 107 with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=timeout) as resp:

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

    Runs shell commands, and the manifest or description says so.

    claude-plugin/scripts/hermeneutic-gate.py, line 69 proc = subprocess.run(

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

    A file was over the read cap and was not fully read.

    evals/production-languages/development.json, line 1 [

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.
