## Description

CodeGeeX is a multilingual code generation and completion extension from Zhipu AI, available for VS Code and JetBrains, with strong support for Chinese-language prompts and comments alongside English.

It reads workspace files for context, inserts accepted completions, and sends context to its hosted service, so it declares filesystem read and write with outbound network access. The relevant consideration for most enterprise reviewers is data residency: context is processed by infrastructure in a jurisdiction that may sit outside their approved list, which is a compliance question rather than a code-quality one and is best answered before rollout rather than during an audit.

## 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. |
