Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.
skills/scrape-plan/assets/review.js, line 99
fetch(AGENT_URL, { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain' }, body: text }) - SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

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.
