Is secrets safe to install?

Yes — secrets is safe to install, with something worth knowing. Sonnet 5 read every file secrets ships from rad-security/claude-code-plugin on 7 September 2026 and found nothing that acts against the person installing it; the static scan of its 26 rules grades it A.

What the reviewer found

AgentKeeper's local secret scanner: it finds credential-file paths and greps for secret patterns only to report masked previews to the user who invoked it, explicitly runs with no network calls, and never prints actual secret values. This is the tool's stated purpose (a defensive secrets scanner), not exfiltration.

What was read

The file as it ships in rad-security/claude-code-plugin:

What the static scan said

The scan flagged 2things. The reviewer kept 0 and dismissed 2 as false.

How this review was made

Sonnet 5 read the files above on 7 September 2026 and answered three questions: is it dangerous to whoever installs it, is each scanner finding real, and what should the installer know. The verdict is bound to the file's hash; when the file changes, it is scanned afresh and reviewed again. A script that changes while the definition does not is not re-reviewed — that is a known gap. How the scan and the review work.
