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

Rescanned at commit 73ae4189c89b, unchanged since the check below.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    bin/mcp.js, line 276 const r = await fetch(API_BASE + path, {

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    bin/mcp.js, line 276 const r = await fetch(API_BASE + path, {

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    .gitignore, line 4 .env

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

    Reads an environment variable whose name contains KEY, SECRET, TOKEN, PASSWORD or CREDENTIAL.

    bin/mcp.js, line 259 function apiKey() { return (process.env.OPENAEO_API_KEY || "").trim(); }

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.
