Production target restriction: HTTP named-target execution is disabled for generic MCP/A2A/ACP transports in prod and production until destination-atomic authority/fencing is qualified.

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 SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED SECRETS_ENV_READ OBFUSCATION_FILE_CAP_REACHED

Why this grade

  • INSTALL_UNPINNED Low

    Dependencies use a range or git URL with no lockfile.

    requirements.txt, line 4 fastapi>=0.141.1

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    examples/live_a2a_handshake.py, line 43 r = httpx.get(CARD_URL, timeout=2)

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    .dockerignore, line 11 .env

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    examples/live_a2a_handshake.py, line 57 proc = subprocess.Popen([sys.executable, SERVER],

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

    Reads an environment variable whose name contains KEY, SECRET, TOKEN, PASSWORD or CREDENTIAL.

    main.py, line 33 if not os.environ.get("AGENTBRIDGE_ADMIN_KEY"):

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_CAP_REACHED Note

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

    tools/check_documentation.py, line 1 """Check local Markdown file targets without fetching external links.

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.

  • Permissions

    Note

    requests shell access. The manifest names this permission.

  • Install and update

    Concern
