Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.

Rescanned at commit 2a4d0066ff45.

INSTALL_UNPINNED NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED OBFUSCATION_FILE_CAP_REACHED

Why this grade

  • INSTALL_UNPINNED Low

    Dependencies use a range or git URL with no lockfile.

    requirements.txt, line 1 requests

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    scripts/mcphub2manifest.py, line 13 response = requests.get(raw_url)

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    servers/chroma-core/chroma-mcp/manifest.json, line 121 "description": "Path to .env file",

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    scripts/test_dxt_pack_and_open.py, line 12 subprocess.run(['open', file_path])

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_CAP_REACHED Note

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

    servers/modelcontextprotocol/filesystem/user_config.json, line 1 {

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.
