Kivgraph
Kivgraph began as a research project. It explored whether a local semantic code graph could reduce the amount of context coding agents need to inspect.
Compatibility: Not stated.
Grade C
One Medium finding. Read the findings before installing.
Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.
Rescanned at commit 259fb0081ebb, unchanged since the check below.
PERMISSION_SHELL_UNDECLARED
Why this grade
- PERMISSION_SHELL_UNDECLARED Medium
Runs shell commands that the manifest or description does not mention.
benchmarks/agent-e2e/arms.go, line 245
command := exec.Command(cfg.Agent, arguments...)
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.

Plain notes from the hygiene checks.
