$ pip install mini_agentInstalling via npx/uvx/npm install executes arbitrary code from the public registry on your machine. This is the install-risk semantic of the MarketNow catalog — verify the publisher before running it.
How MarketNow scored this
Sentinel Index Heuristics — a security-first estimate from public signals:
- Package age and release activity (stale repositories lose points)
- Verified adoption: registry downloads or GitHub stars, not follower counts
- Typosquat distance against the 150 most-installed MCP packages
- Injection markers scanned in the package description
Heuristic, not a guarantee. For verified agent credentials and revocation, see the MarketNow Trust API.
