# Networking and protocol packages

Network clients, protocol utilities, download tools, and remote-service helpers.

- **Packages:** 5,046
- **Protected tools:** 0
- **Approval gates:** 8
- **Non-low risk:** 1,336
- **Updated:** 2026-08-04

## Why this package group is here

Networking and protocol packages currently includes 5046 package catalog entries. 0 have protected-tool coverage, 8 have approval-gate metadata, and 1336 have non-low Geiger classifier findings. The grouping comes from package metadata, so it can stay current as that metadata changes.

## Generated source

This hub uses the same local package data as individual package pages: pkg.so package metadata, Homebrew enrichment, Geiger classifier output, secret-handling manifests, and approval-gate seeds where available.

## Review model

Use the hub to find command families that need tighter secret injection, approval gates, or manual review before agents run them.
