Publication is a decision to display evidence under ToolRepute's current rules, not a security certification, endorsement or guarantee.
Internal reviewer identity, review notes and private metadata are not displayed.
Published findings
LowCommand-line executable declaredNPM_BIN_DECLAREDpackage.jsonFinding details and evidence
Command-line executable declared
Category: code execution
What was found
The package manifest exposes one or more command-line entry points.
Why it matters
Command-line entry points indicate code intended to execute on the user's system.
Evidence snippet
No public snippet is available. It was not recorded or is withheld to protect sensitive content.
Scanner interpretation
A static rule match is a signal for contextual inspection, not a confirmed vulnerability or malicious behavior.
Recommended check
Inspect the declared command-line entry point and its startup behavior, requested permissions and inputs before running it.
Limitations and legitimate-use context
Declaring a command-line tool is common and does not by itself indicate unsafe behavior.
Lownpm publish lifecycle script declaredNPM_PUBLISH_LIFECYCLE_SCRIPTpackage.jsonFinding details and evidence
npm publish lifecycle script declared
Category: code execution
What was found
The package declares a lifecycle script associated with preparation or publication.
Why it matters
Such scripts show automated code execution in the package workflow and provide useful review context.
Evidence snippet
prepare: npm run format && npm run build
Scanner interpretation
A static rule match is a signal for contextual inspection, not a confirmed vulnerability or malicious behavior.
Recommended check
Check which preparation or publication workflow invokes the script and distinguish it from consumer installation.
Limitations and legitimate-use context
Publish-oriented scripts do not normally run when a consumer installs the package.
Reputation evidence
Insufficient evidence · low confidence · model v1
Evidence support score: 5/100. This is separate from risk, review and publication.
Assessment as of 2026-10-22. Live repository HEAD is not checked when this page loads.
Security evidence · 0/25LIMITED · low confidence
Reliable mapped v6 scope is not established; evidence age: recent.
Static support is capped at 18/25 before a risk deduction of ceil(riskScore/4); zero findings does not establish safety.
Last observed: 2026-09-26

Static analysis covers a bounded source scope, not runtime, dependencies in full, or hosted behavior.

A source mapping does not prove ownership. Repository availability and live HEAD are not rechecked here.
Review freshness · 0/25STALE · low confidence
Current artifact-bound approval earns 25; matching approval with unchecked live HEAD earns 8; stale, missing or rejected evidence earns 0.
Last observed: 2026-09-26
- review record 61: Decision: approved; reviewed run 338; NEXT-11 freshness: stale.
Page requests make no upstream probe. An old approval is not approval of changed evidence.
Registry consistency · 0/10UNKNOWN · low confidence
Unique primary, normalized active/latest official registry observation earns 10 within 30 days, 5 within 90, otherwise 0.
Last observed: 2026-10-04
- registry record 13291: Normalized official record: false; active: true; latest: true; observation age: recent.
Registry consistency is a source-record observation, not identity verification or a security endorsement.
Publisher identity confidence · 0/15UNKNOWN · low confidence
No verified legal, domain or repository-ownership binding is available; free text and the registry verification flag earn no credit.
Last observed: Not available
Publisher name and registry namespace cannot establish legal identity or ownership.
Recorded assessment history (1)
History starts with explicit captures in model v1. Past source and review state cannot be fully reconstructed. Page reads do not save snapshots; changes in the live assessment appear in history only after an explicit capture.

Reputation reflects ToolRepute-observed evidence only; it is not a guarantee of security.
Signals may be incomplete or stale. Runtime and hosted behavior may differ from scanned source.
Publisher identity has no verified binding. Repository ownership and legal identity are not established.
This score measures support in the available evidence, not the probability that a tool is safe.
