security posture

No protected-tool coverage found yet

No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for zx. 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.

Recommended review

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