security posture

No protected-tool coverage found yet

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

Install behavior

  • Homebrew declares a post-install hook for this formula.
  • Homebrew bottle metadata is available for 6 platform targets.
  • Installs with 12 runtime dependencies.
  • Build metadata lists 4 build dependencies.

Recommended review

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

local files

Configuration and credential file locations

These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials. Automic Vault can use them as review targets for secret scanning, migration, and command approval.

Configuration files

Config paths the tool may read or write during local use.
