Caveat verdict

alpaca

45
🟠 Risky
Significant risk patterns flagged — automated deep scan, not behavioral proof.

Supports placing real stock and crypto orders via Alpaca's live trading API (not just paper), which involves actual financial transactions with the user's brokerage credentials; while guardrails exist, executing real trades represents elevated financial risk beyond typical tool usage.

⚠ Flagged for review — coarse, uncorroborated signal, not a confirmed exploit. Review the config yourself before installing.

Automated static analysis — not a human review. Caveat flags capabilities, not confirmed intent, and can produce false positives. Disagree with this verdict? Use Dispute below.
