Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

MCP, MCP server

loctree

This repository is the public home of the Loctree engine — the full bundle in one workspace: the loctree CLI crate, the loctree-ast crate, the loctree-mcp server and the loctree-lsp server.

Compatibility: Not stated.

Grade C

One Medium finding. Read the report before installing.

Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.

OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB

Why this grade

  • OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB Medium

    Contains a long base64 shaped string in a file that should be readable.

    docs/BACKLOG.md, line 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.

What was checked

Plain notes from the hygiene checks.
