MCP, MCP server

PharosRAG

PharosRAG, an MCP server listed in the PlugVet directory.

Compatibility: Not stated.

Grade B

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

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

Rescanned at commit 162c7ca3e975, unchanged since the check below.

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    eval/_common.py, line 56 shutil.rmtree(dest, ignore_errors=True)

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    src/pharos/parser.py, line 42 r = requests.post(f"{BASE}/api/v4/file-urls/batch", headers=_headers(token), json=body, timeout=60)

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    eval/_common.py, line 14 REPO = os.path.dirname(HERE) # = pharos 仓根;load_env 读 REPO/.env(即 pharos/.env)。引擎包已 pip install -e . 安装

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    eval/_common.py, line 109 key = os.environ.get("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.
