Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    containers/src/index.ts, line 69 * passes through `container.getTcpPort(port).fetch(request)` without being

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    containers/src/index.ts, line 69 * passes through `container.getTcpPort(port).fetch(request)` without being

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    AGENTS.md, line 90 ├── .env.example schema of every env var the project reads

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    src/cli/install/claude-code.ts, line 9 * real implementation uses `child_process.spawn` and captures stdout/stderr.

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

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

    REPORT.md, line 1 # affiliate-mcp Report - the state of affiliate-network APIs in June 2026

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_CAP_REACHED Note

    The 400 file cap was reached before every file was read.

    REPORT.md, line 1 # affiliate-mcp Report - the state of affiliate-network APIs in June 2026

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.
