## Description

Bito provides AI chat, code explanation, test generation, and an AI code review agent inside VS Code and JetBrains, positioned around review and comprehension as much as generation.

It reads the workspace, writes generated code and tests when accepted, and calls its hosted service, so it declares filesystem read and write plus outbound network. Test generation is the feature worth a caveat: generated tests that pass against current behaviour lock in that behaviour, bugs included, which is useful as a regression harness and misleading as evidence of correctness.

## Why it scored 50

The score starts at the catalog's neutral base of 50 and moves only through the signals below. The formula is published at https://catalog.anomity.ai/about — there is no model and no hidden heuristic.

| Signal | Contribution | Severity | Evidence |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Established community project | -10 | trust offset |  |
| 1 high-risk capability: filesystem:write | +10 | high |  |

Clamped result: **50/100**, band **medium**.

## Capabilities

| Capability | Name | Security implication |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `filesystem:read` | Filesystem read | Can read files on the host system. Used for context, indexing, or analysis. |
| `filesystem:write` | Filesystem write | Can create, edit, or delete files on the host system. High-impact capability — anything from helpful edits to planting persistence. |
| `network:outbound` | Outbound network | Can make outbound network requests. Required for hosted model providers and remote APIs; also the path for data exfiltration if combined with read access. |
