Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

Claude Code, Skill

rote

Compile AI agent skills into cheap, fast, deterministic pipelines that run without an LLM in the loop.

Compatibility: Not stated.

Grade D

Two or more Medium findings, or a High. Only try it in a sandbox.

Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

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

NETWORK_HOST_FROM_INPUT PERMISSION_SHELL_UNDECLARED SECRETS_PATH_CREDENTIAL

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_HOST_FROM_INPUT High

    A file takes a URL or endpoint as input and has no fixed host list.

    docs/design/mcp-2026-07-28-probes/probe_login_path.py, line 66 with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=15) as r:

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_UNDECLARED Medium

    Runs shell commands that the manifest or description does not mention.

    examples/bdr-outreach/expected/runtimes/dbos/signatures/_rote_inference.py, line 786 completed = subprocess.run(

  • SECRETS_PATH_CREDENTIAL Medium

    Mentions a credential store path (~/.ssh, id_rsa, .npmrc, .aws/credentials, credentials.json, .netrc).

    .gitignore, line 73 *_credentials.json

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.

If you think this grade is wrong, email [email protected] with the entry link and your evidence. We aim to acknowledge within two working days and decide within seven. If we confirm an error, we aim to correct it within 24 hours of confirming it. These are aims, not guarantees.

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.

  • Install and update

    Note

    The docs document an installer that pipes a download into a shell.
