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.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED SECRETS_ENV_READ OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    workers/scripts/available-data-truth.ts, line 32 const r = await fetch(new URL("/api/v3/search/", BASE), {

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    workers/scripts/available-data-truth.ts, line 32 const r = await fetch(new URL("/api/v3/search/", BASE), {

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    workers/scripts/panel.ts, line 50 * Load `.env` ourselves.

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    workers/scripts/evals/skills/launch.py, line 23 r = subprocess.run([os.path.join(here, "run.sh"), rid, arm, model, prompt], capture_output=True, text=True)

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    workers/scripts/available-data-live.ts, line 37 const TOKEN = process.env["TAKO_API_TOKEN"];

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

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

    openapi/sdk.yaml, line 1 # GENERATED - do not edit; synced from the Tako monorepo.

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.

    PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED

    r = subprocess.run([os.path.join(here, "run.sh"), rid, arm, model, prompt], capture_output=True, text=True)

  • Install and update

    Pass

    No install-time script found, and dependencies are pinned or absent.

  • Network

    Concern

    can reach a host that is not written as a fixed address. can reach api.anthropic.com. The description does not name that host.
