kernelcad

kernelcad is a plugin for Gemini CLI from w1ne/kernelCAD-web. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

A hosted computer-aided design (CAD) tool for creating editable 3D models in TypeScript source files. It uses a remote geometry engine, so OpenCASCADE does not need to be installed locally.

In plain words
What is it for?
Create mechanical parts and assemblies, review them in the Studio viewer, and export them as STEP, STL, or 3MF files.
Why use it?
It lets a coding agent create and revise solid models without setting up a local CAD engine. Models can also be viewed and exported in common manufacturing formats.

Security

Grade A, and why

kernelcad 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.

The scan reads gemini-extension.json. This mod also ships 39 executable files (examples/assemblies/two-link-connector-arm.kcad.ts, examples/async-sketch-methods.kcad.ts, examples/async-sketch-methods.run.ts, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What ships with it

60 files beside gemini-extension.json in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
