write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
check_commandIs a shell command DESTRUCTIVE or a remote-code-exec vector? Call this before running any shell command you're not 100% sure about. Flags recursive force-deletes of root/home, disk wipes (dd/mkfs), pipe-to-shell (curl … | bash), fork bombs, force-push, hard-reset, sudo, DROP TABLE, world-writable perms, and more — with a severity and why.
check_packageIs a package SAFE to install? Call this before `pip install` / `npm install` / adding any dependency. Checks: does it actually exist on the registry (a hallucinated name is a red flag), is it a TYPOSQUAT of a popular package, does it RUN CODE ON INSTALL (npm pre/post-install scripts — the classic supply-chain malware vector), and is it in a known MALWARE / vulnerability advisory (OSV). ecosystem =
scan_secretsDoes this text/code LEAK a secret? Call this before you commit, paste, log, or output code or config. Detects API keys (AWS/OpenAI/Anthropic/Google/Stripe/GitHub/Slack), private-key blocks, JWTs, and generic `password=/api_key=` assignments — returns each finding (type, line, redacted).
