Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

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

INSTALL_UNPINNED SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED

Why this grade

  • INSTALL_UNPINNED Low

    Dependencies use a range or git URL with no lockfile.

    requirements.txt, line 1 fastmcp>=3.4.2

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    pyproject.toml, line 71 "/.env.example",

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    instagram_mcp/auth.py, line 78 subprocess.run(

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.
