Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

MCP, MCP server

Pineforge Backtest Mcp

Self-contained stdio MCP server: an AI agent writes PineScript v6, and the bundled pineforge-release image transpiles it to C++ and backtests it against an OHLCV CSV (your own, or one fetched from Binance's public API) — all in one container, in-process.

Compatibility: Not stated.

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.

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    docker/test_pf_run_json.py, line 254 return subprocess.run([sys.executable, SHIM, "--so", "s.so", *argv], env=env,

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    scripts/distribution.mjs, line 39 const response = await fetch(`https://registry.npmjs.org/@pineforge%2fbacktest-mcp${version ? `/${version}` : ""}`);

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    scripts/distribution.mjs, line 39 const response = await fetch(`https://registry.npmjs.org/@pineforge%2fbacktest-mcp${version ? `/${version}` : ""}`);

  • SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED Low

    The Secrets check reports a credential or environment file, but no quoted line shows a recognisable path.

    scripts/distribution.mjs, line 61 assert.ok(process.env.ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_URL && process.env.ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_TOKEN, "OIDC unavailable");

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    scripts/distribution.mjs, line 61 assert.ok(process.env.ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_URL && process.env.ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_TOKEN, "OIDC unavailable");

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.
