Grade B

Minor issues only, no Medium or High. Worth a quick look at the findings below before installing.

Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

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

Rescanned at commit f17a9e4e7e01, unchanged since the check below.

INSTALL_UNPINNED SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • INSTALL_UNPINNED Low

    Dependencies use a range or git URL with no lockfile.

    requirements.txt, line 1 python-docx>=1.1.2

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    paper_format_agent/release_audit.py, line 43 if suffix in SECRET_SUFFIXES or path.name.startswith(".env"):

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    paper_format_agent/engines.py, line 47 cp = subprocess.run(

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    paper_format_agent/service.py, line 139 api_key=llm_api_key or os.getenv("DEEPSEEK_API_KEY"),

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.
