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

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV 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.

    docs/examples.md, line 490 response = requests.post(url, json=payload)

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    binance_mcp_server/cli.py, line 77 # Load environment variables from .env file

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    binance_mcp_server/config.py, line 9 self.api_key = os.getenv("BINANCE_API_KEY")

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

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

    uv.lock, line 1 version = 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.

    ### Method 2: .env File

    docs/configuration.md, line 47

    Create a `.env` file in your project directory:

    docs/configuration.md, line 50

    # .env file

    docs/configuration.md, line 56

    The server will automatically load the `.env` file using `python-dotenv`.

    docs/configuration.md, line 299

    - Use `.env` file instead
