New Term Radar
Three skills that find the names of new AI models, products and repositories as they surface, and size the search terms behind them with Google Ads volume and DataForSEO Trends, an estimate of Google search interest.
Compatibility: Not stated.
Grade B
Minor issues only, no Medium or High. Worth a quick look at the findings below before installing.
Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.
INSTALL_UNPINNED NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED SECRETS_ENV_READ
Why this grade
- INSTALL_UNPINNED Low
Dependencies use a range or git URL with no lockfile.
requirements.txt, line 2
markdown>=3.5 # only for --mail - NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low
Makes a network call whose host is not written as a fixed address.
radar/aisa.py, line 63
with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=timeout) as res: - NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low
Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.
radar/aisa.py, line 63
with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=timeout) as res: - SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED Low
The Secrets check reports a credential or environment file, but no quoted line shows a recognisable path.
radar/aisa.py, line 40
k = os.environ.get("AISA_API_KEY", "").strip() - OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB Low
Contains a long base64 shaped string in a file that should be readable.
README.md, line 396

Runs shell commands, and the manifest or description says so.
docs/make_diagram.py, line 206
subprocess.run(["rsvg-convert", "-w", str(W * 2), "-b", "white", str(f), "-o", str(f.with_suffix(".png"))], check=True) - SECRETS_ENV_READ Note
Reads an environment variable whose name contains KEY, SECRET, TOKEN, PASSWORD or CREDENTIAL.
radar/aisa.py, line 40
k = os.environ.get("AISA_API_KEY", "").strip()
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.

Plain notes from the hygiene checks.
Permissions
Note
