Rescanned at commit c635f5b8a835, unchanged since the check below.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER 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.

    src/itential_mcp/platform/connection_test.py, line 369 with socket.create_connection((host, port), timeout=5.0) as sock:

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    .gitignore, line 166 .env

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    docs/custom-tools.md, line 114 result = subprocess.run(

  • INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER Note

    Documentation shows an installer that pipes a download into a shell.

    docs/ai-assistant-configs.md, line 15 curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

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

    uv.lock, line 1 version = 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.
