Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

MCP, MCP server

Grounded Kql Mcp

An MCP server that answers network questions with deterministic, pre-shaped KQL against Azure Log Analytics custom tables — correlating firewall, VNet flow, on-premises Cisco IOS and Cisco ISE logs to answer the question an engineer actually asks: why can't A reach B?

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.

SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    infra/provision.ps1, line 109 Write-Host "Add these to your .env:" -ForegroundColor Green

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    test_http_auth.py, line 68 proc = subprocess.run(

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    test_http_auth.py, line 80 if TEST_KEY in proc.stderr or (os.environ.get("KQLMCP_API_KEY", "") and os.environ["KQLMCP_API_KEY"] in proc.stderr):

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.
