Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

One engineering workflow for the coding agents on your Mac, and the paperwork it leaves behind.

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.

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    lib/mifal/doctor.py, line 172 run = subprocess.run([sys.executable, "-B", "-I", str(path), "selfcheck"], capture_output=True, text=True,

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    maint/upstream.py, line 36 def fetch(repo, fetched={}):

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    skills/team-lead/scripts/check_compliance.py, line 36 "files_changed": ["src/x.ts", ".env"],

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    skills/tdd/mocking.md, line 32 const client = new StripeClient(process.env.STRIPE_KEY);

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

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

    tools/herdr_adapter/api-schema.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.
