Risk Summary

Needs Approval

Dep Visibility plus Excessive Permissions raises enough risk that this tool should not be auto-trusted.

Potential impact: This finding indicates the tool should be reviewed before it is trusted.

Recommended action: Keep this tool behind manual approval and avoid unattended runs until the risky capabilities are narrowed or removed.

Suggested policy: keep this tool behind manual approval, do not allow unattended runs, and re-scan after narrowing risky permissions.

  • InfoAS-014

    ℹ️Dependency Inventory Unavailable ×54

    Tool did not expose metadata.dependencies or repo_url, so supply-chain coverage is limited.
