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

Rescanned at commit 99d67daaa950, unchanged since the check below.

INSTALL_UNPINNED NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV

Why this grade

  • INSTALL_UNPINNED Low

    Dependencies use a range or git URL with no lockfile.

    package.json, line 40 @modelcontextprotocol/sdk

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    src/auth/pat-exchange.ts, line 45 const res = await fetch(IDENTITY_URL, {

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    AGENTS.md, line 63 cp .env.example .env

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.
