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

Rescanned at commit c7eef3cbcf1f, unchanged since the check below.

PERMISSION_SHELL_UNDECLARED

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_UNDECLARED Medium

    Runs shell commands that the manifest or description does not mention.

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

    Concern

    requests shell access. No manifest field names shell or command execution.

    2. Only if it is not in the environment, check `.env` for `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY=<value>`.

    skills/general/setup-api-key/SKILL.md, line 49

    > Do not paste the key into this chat. Instead, copy/paste it into your local `.env` file:

    skills/general/setup-api-key/SKILL.md, line 55

    > If `.env` already has an `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY=...` line, replace that line.

    skills/general/setup-api-key/SKILL.md, line 64

    1. Re-check both `.env` and the current environment for `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY`, but treat `.env` as the source of truth for this step.

    skills/general/setup-api-key/SKILL.md, line 65

    2. If `.env` contains a value, validate that value even when the current environment also has a different `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY`.

    skills/general/setup-api-key/SKILL.md, line 66

    3. If `.env` does not contain the key:

    skills/general/setup-api-key/SKILL.md, line 67

    - Tell the user `.env` does not appear to contain `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY`.

    skills/general/setup-api-key/SKILL.md, line 69

    - If the current environment does contain a key, note that this step still requires saving the key in `.env`.
