Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

MCP, MCP server

Pyslang Mcp

Pyslang Mcp, 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.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    .github/workflows/ci.yml, line 334 if python -c 'import json, urllib.request; body = json.loads(urllib.request.urlopen("http://127.0.0.1:18000/healthz", timeout=2).read()); assert body == {"status": "ok", "server":

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    scripts/setup_internal_maas.py, line 2 """Create the Docker Compose .env file for internal MaaS bring-up."""

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    reports/real_examples_75/run_real75_comparison.py, line 100 return subprocess.check_output(

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    src/pyslang_mcp/__main__.py, line 66 http_bearer_token = os.environ.get("PYSLANG_MCP_HTTP_BEARER_TOKEN")

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.
