Hybrid code search with multiple embedding providers, SQLite AST Code Graph, references, callers, bounded source context, retrieval evaluation and chat memory.

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.

Rescanned at commit 1bf6f6f61ded, unchanged since the check below.

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    scripts/retrieval-quality.mjs, line 68 fs.rmSync(scratch, { recursive: true, force: true });

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    scripts/check-npm-release.mjs, line 14 const response = await fetch(`https://registry.npmjs.org/${encodeURIComponent(pkg.name)}`, {

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    scripts/check-npm-release.mjs, line 14 const response = await fetch(`https://registry.npmjs.org/${encodeURIComponent(pkg.name)}`, {

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    docs-site/src/app/(docs)/tools/code-agent/page.tsx, line 183 <td>Blocks .env, config files, lockfiles, tsconfig, docker-compose</td>

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    scripts/benchmark-model-worker.mjs, line 18 const KEYWORD_QUERY = process.env.BENCH_KEYWORD_QUERY || 'parseEmbeddingDimensions';

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

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

    docs-site/package-lock.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.

  • Permissions

    Concern

    can delete files.

    PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES

    scripts/retrieval-quality.mjs, line 68

    fs.rmSync(scratch, { recursive: true, force: true });

    src/tools/code-apply.ts, line 106

    fs.unlinkSync(filePath);

  • Install and update

    Pass

    No install-time script found, and dependencies are pinned or absent.

  • Network

    Concern

    can reach registry.npmjs.org. The description does not name that host. can reach a host that is not written as a fixed address.

    NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST

    scripts/check-npm-release.mjs, line 14

    const response = await fetch(`https://registry.npmjs.org/${encodeURIComponent(pkg.name)}`, {

    const response = await fetch(`${config.embeddingBaseUrl}${endpoint}`, {

    src/services/rerank.ts, line 17

    const response = await fetch(url, {

  • Secrets

    Concern

    reads a credential or environment file.
