Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

A simple, open convention for a website to declare what it can do — the capabilities an agent can discover and invoke — at a well-known location.

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 SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    action/index.js, line 56 const res = await fetch(src, { headers: { 'User-Agent': 'capabilities-txt-action' } });

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    action/index.js, line 56 const res = await fetch(src, { headers: { 'User-Agent': 'capabilities-txt-action' } });

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    db/README.md, line 18 vercel env pull .env.local # to develop locally against it

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    app/api/admin/ingest/route.ts, line 28 const admin = process.env.INGEST_ADMIN_TOKEN || '';

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.
