IPCC AR6 Climate Retrieval
Ask a plain-language question about heat, extreme rain or wind anywhere on Earth, and get back a typed, cited risk report built from live forecast data, 60+ years of ERA5 extremes and IPCC AR6.
Compatibility: Not stated.
Grade B
Minor issues only, no Medium or High. Worth a quick look at the findings below before installing.
Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.
Rescanned at commit a4d3fb9d23f9, unchanged since the check below.
NETWORK_NO_FIXED_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/measure_coldstart.py, line 58
response = httpx.get(health, timeout=2) - SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low
Mentions a .env file.
tools/climatology.py, line 113
# entries fitted at the default - it refits them. Documented in .env.example, - PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note
Runs shell commands, and the manifest or description says so.
scripts/measure_coldstart.py, line 32
size = subprocess.run( - SECRETS_ENV_READ Note
Reads an environment variable whose name contains KEY, SECRET, TOKEN, PASSWORD or CREDENTIAL.
api/app.py, line 44
if not os.environ.get("API_KEY"): - OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note
A file was over the read cap and was not fully read.

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.
