Every failed retry, every exception, every "wait — we hit this exact wall last week" is knowledge your agent throws away when the session ends.

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.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED SECRETS_ENV_READ OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    scripts/kira-intel-issues.py, line 112 with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=timeout) as resp:

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    scripts/kira-intel-issues.py, line 112 with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=timeout) as resp:

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    .gitignore, line 7 .env

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    scripts/kira-intel-issues.py, line 61 out = subprocess.check_output(

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    scripts/sign-key.mjs, line 27 const keyPath = process.env.KIRA_SIGNING_KEY;

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

    A file was over the read cap and was not fully read.

    docs/corpus.json, line 1 {

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.
