Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

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

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    mermaid-mcp-server/src/utils/filesystem.ts, line 146 await fs.unlink(filePath);

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

    Makes a network call whose host is not written as a fixed address.

    mcp-connector/quick-test.js, line 30 const req = http.request(options, (res) => {

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    .dockerignore, line 40 .env

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.
