Not affiliated with ReadyStack (readystack.dev). No new versions are published here. These tools continue under the name Rulestamp, by the team behind getreadystack.com.
Finds the lines in an OpenAPI file that publish an endpoint with no authentication, an API key in the query string, or an OAuth grant RFC 9700 forbids.
AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package sends undisclosed, anonymous runtime telemetry to its own service during interactive use. This meets the warning-only telemetry criterion; the license key traffic is part of the documented licensing flow.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A free CLI run with a TTY, or a licensing check that lacks or rejects a key; telemetry can be disabled with DO_NOT_TRACK=1 or READYSTACK_NO_TELEMETRY.
Impact
The publisher can count free usage and paywall events. No credential or project data is included in the telemetry payload.
Mechanism
The CLI posts a package slug, source, and event reason to the publisher's /api/ev endpoint. License validation also sends the provided license key to the publisher's licensing endpoint and Polar for validation.
AI rationale
The package sends undisclosed, anonymous runtime telemetry to its own service during interactive use. This meets the warning-only telemetry criterion; the license key traffic is part of the documented licensing flow.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- A free CLI run sends a usage event containing only the package slug, CLI source, and free-use reason to getreadystack.com when attached to a terminal; environment variables can disable it.
- The README describes free and licensed features but does not disclose the usage telemetry.
Evidence against
- The telemetry payload contains no credentials, file contents, hostnames, or usernames.
- The package uses the supplied license key to validate licensing with its own service and Polar.
- The manifest declares no lifecycle scripts, and the CLI's stated purpose is OpenAPI security linting.
