Caveat verdict

zotero

88
🟢 Trusted
No high-risk patterns surfaced by the deep scan — automated capability review, not behavioral proof.

Zotero reference library management via the official REST API v3; file_read for bibliography files, network to zotero.org/crossref/unpaywall only — all legitimate for citation management.

⚠ 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.
