Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

MCP, MCP server

PlanExe

PlanExe, 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.

Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

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

Rescanned at commit 15b23c11407c, unchanged since the check below.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED SECRETS_ENV_READ OBFUSCATION_FILE_CAP_REACHED

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    experiments/standalone_experiments/run_ping_simple.py, line 15 response = requests.post(

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    frontend_multi_user/src/app.py, line 244 # original environment of the shell + the .env content.

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    test.py, line 41 completed = subprocess.run([str(worker_python), __file__], env=env, cwd=str(PROJECT_ROOT), check=False)

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    test_oauth_parse.py, line 15 oauth_token = os.environ.get("ANTHROPIC_OAUTHTOKEN")

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_CAP_REACHED Note

    The 400 file cap was reached before every file was read.

    mcp_cloud/tests/test_http_server_routing.py, line 1 import asyncio

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
