Caveat verdict

braindb

🟢 Trusted
No high-risk patterns surfaced by the deep scan — automated capability review, not behavioral proof.

BrainDB is a persistent semantic memory plugin that uses local Docker containers (Neo4j, embedder, gateway) to store agent memories; the optional --swarm migration flag that sends data to Google Gemini API is explicitly disclosed in the permissions field.

⚠ 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.
