Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

Engineering responsibility and reliability for frontier coding agents: continuity, ownership, falsification, coordination, and disciplined completion.

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.

Rescanned at commit f797e07554ef.

SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED NETWORK_LOCALHOST

Why this grade

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    hooks/test-secret-check.sh, line 62 out=$(run '{"tool_name":"Read","tool_input":{"file_path":"/etc/payments/.env"}}')

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    cmd/mellions/assign_claim_test.go, line 28 cmd := exec.Command("git", args...)

  • NETWORK_LOCALHOST Note

    Calls localhost only.

    internal/secretread/secretread_test.go, line 264 {"a series matcher", `curl -sf http://127.0.0.1:8428/api/v1/series --data-urlencode 'match[]={__name__=~".*ratio_not_representable.*"}'`},

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.

What was checked

Plain notes from the hygiene checks.
