Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

MCP, MCP server

SettlementWitness

Remote-first MCP adapter for emitting Settlement Attestation Receipts; not a verifier.

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 8efd6528be23, unchanged since the check below.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    examples/verify_receipt_python.py, line 43 with urllib.request.urlopen(req) as resp:

  • SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED Low

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

    openclaw/skills/settlement-witness/scripts/registry_snapshot.py, line 291 override = os.environ.get("SAR_KEYS_REGISTRY_PATH")

  • OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB Low

    Contains a long base64 shaped string in a file that should be readable.

    evidence/sar-primitive-vectors-20261006/results/primitive_results.json, line 19 "canonical_bytes_hex": "7b22636f6e666964656e6365223a302e39392c22726561736f6e5f636f6465223a22535045435f4d41544348222c227461736b5f69645f68617368223a227368613235363a393436633034306164

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    openclaw/skills/settlement-witness/scripts/registry_snapshot.py, line 291 override = os.environ.get("SAR_KEYS_REGISTRY_PATH")

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.
