security posture

No protected-tool coverage found yet

No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for whois. Nucleus 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.
  • Installs with 3 runtime dependencies.
  • Build metadata lists 2 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.
