security posture

No protected-tool coverage found yet

No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for payload. Package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL.

Install behavior

  • No npm postinstall script is recorded in package metadata.
  • No Homebrew bottle metadata was recorded.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
