Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

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

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER 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.

    .agents/skills/how-to-add-cloudflare-tunnel/SKILL.md, line 110 curl -sS "https://mcp.<domain>/health"

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    .agents/skills/how-to-add-cloudflare-tunnel/SKILL.md, line 110 curl -sS "https://mcp.<domain>/health"

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    .agents/skills/how-to-get-started/SKILL.md, line 26 - [ ] `.env` created from `.env.example` with OPENROUTER_API_KEY

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

    Runs shell commands, and the manifest or description says so.

    .agents/skills/how-to-deploy-landing/SKILL.md, line 70 return subprocess.check_output(args, text=True)

  • INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER Note

    Documentation shows an installer that pipes a download into a shell.

    README.md, line 79 curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

    A file was over the read cap and was not fully read.

    openhedge-core/uv.lock, line 1 version = 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.

  • Permissions

    Note

    requests shell access. The manifest names this permission.

  • Install and update

    Note

    README documents an installer that pipes a download into a shell. The docs document an installer that pipes a download into a shell.

  • Network

    Concern

    can reach mcp.. The description does not name that host. can reach www.openhedge.app. The description does not name that host. can reach a host that is not written as a fixed address.

    Get the user running quickly. Prefer Docker Compose for local use; if they want a hosted stack, use the README **Deploy on Railway** button or follow [how-to-deploy-to-railway](../

    .agents/skills/how-to-get-started/SKILL.md, line 53

    Ask the user to fill `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` in `.env`. Do not invent or commit the key.

    .agents/skills/how-to-get-started/SKILL.md, line 57

    After `.env` is filled:

    .agents/skills/how-to-get-started/SKILL.md, line 103

    Only when the user is developing a single service. Qdrant must already be on `http://localhost:6333`. Settings do **not** load `.env`; Compose does. Export env first:

    .agents/skills/how-to-get-started/SKILL.md, line 123

    - Do not commit `.env` (gitignored). `.env.example` is the template.
