Trust score

63

Grade C

Risk flags

  • No public repository linked

    Without a public repo we cannot independently audit the code. Caution warranted.

Capability surface

  • Process spawn

    Medium risk

    Launches subprocesses via docker, npx, uvx — supply-chain risk if package is compromised.

    Evidence: npx

  • Database mutation

    High risk

    Connects to a database. Read-only flag, when present, mitigates the risk.

    Evidence: redis

Disclaimer

This is an automated heuristic triage. It does not replace a hand-rolled code audit. Use it to prioritise which servers deserve a deeper look — especially anything carrying high-risk capabilities like shell execution or filesystem write.
