kairos
kairos, an MCP server listed in the PlugVet directory.
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.
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.
examples/daemon/run.sh, line 12
for dependency in curl jq openssl perl; do command -v "$dependency" >/dev/null || exit 1; done - SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low
Mentions a .env file.
scripts/verify-release.py, line 70
require(not ({".env", "auth.json", ".git", "core.db"} & set(path.parts)), - PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note
Runs shell commands, and the manifest or description says so.
internal/daemon/codexadapter/adapter.go, line 110
if err := configureProcess(exec.Command(executable)); err != nil { - SECRETS_ENV_READ Note
Reads an environment variable whose name contains KEY, SECRET, TOKEN, PASSWORD or CREDENTIAL.
cmd/kairos-server/main.go, line 123
adminToken := os.Getenv("KAIROS_ADMIN_TOKEN") - 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.
