allowlist

A record of specific findings that should be suppressed temporarily or intentionally. Each entry includes a category, a required reason, and sometimes an expiry date.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for false positives, intentional test data, risks handled elsewhere, or work deliberately postponed with a documented reason.
Why use it?
It provides a traceable way to accept a known issue without disabling all scanning. The audit command helps find exceptions that are stale or close to expiring.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

allowlist scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

vyuh-dxkit allowlist

Per-finding suppression with a typed-category audit trail. The allowlist is dxkit's deliberate escape hatch for findings you can't fix today: false positives, intentional test-fixture patterns, real risks mitigated externally, or work you're deferring with an explicit deadline.

The principle: easier than disabling dxkit, harder than actually fixing the issue. Every allowlist entry carries a typed category, a required reason, and (when relevant) an expiry. Reviewers see new entries in the PR comment automatically; the audit subcommand surfaces stale + soon-to-expire entries for periodic cleanup.

When to use this command

Use the allowlist when fixing isn't viable today and the finding deserves explicit acknowledgement rather than silent suppression. Common scenarios:

  • False positive: the scanner is wrong about this specific finding. Allowlist with category=false-positive + a reason describing why. Bonus: consider reporting the false positive via vyuh-dxkit issue so the team can improve the rule.
  • Intentional test fixture: the "secret" is a placeholder API key in a test file, or the SAST finding is in a deliberately-bad example. Allowlist with category=test-fixture.
  • Mitigated externally: a dep-vuln is real but the attack vector is blocked by a WAF rule, network policy, or runtime guard. Allowlist with category=mitigated-externally + a reason describing the mitigation.
  • Accepted risk: the team has reviewed the finding and accepts it for now. Allowlist with category=accepted-risk + an explicit --expires date. The expiry forces re-review when the deadline passes.
  • Deferred fix: the work is tracked elsewhere (a ticket, a next-sprint plan). Allowlist with category=deferred + an --expires matching the deadline.

If you find yourself reaching for the allowlist many times for the same scanner rule, that's signal — open a --type=false-positive or --type=missing-finding issue (see vyuh-dxkit issue) so the team can tune the underlying detection.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

allowlist is a command published in the GitHub repository vyuh-labs/dxkit (10 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 3,829 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
