02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

repo age created 2026-07-26 - young repo, little track record yet

license no standard license detected - usage rights unclear; check the repo before commercial use

pypi package firekeep-client - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.kapella-hub is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
