conftest.py, line 68
shutil.rmtree(directory, ignore_errors=True) - NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low
Makes a network call whose host is not written as a fixed address.
scripts/mcp_registry_publish.sh, line 158
for required_command in curl jq sha256sum tar mktemp; do - SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED Low
The Secrets check reports a credential or environment file, but no quoted line shows a recognisable path.

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.
