Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

MCP, MCP server

Compass Mcp

Local MCP that reads what you're doing and suggests which model fits — copy tweak vs UI vs nasty bug, that kind of thing.

Compatibility: Not stated.

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.

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    scripts/codexHostSmoke.ts, line 282 fs.rmSync(scratch, { recursive: true, force: true });

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    scripts/httpLimitsSmoke.ts, line 22 return fetch(url, { method: "POST", headers: headers(), body: JSON.stringify(body), signal: AbortSignal.timeout(5000) });

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    scripts/connectLib.ts, line 98 /** Remove an existing [mcp_servers.<name>] block (and nested .env table). */

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    src/httpConfig.ts, line 39 const apiKey = process.env.COMPASS_MCP_API_KEY?.trim() || undefined;

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.
