## Description

CodeRabbit's extension runs AI code review locally in the editor, reviewing uncommitted changes before they become a pull request and flagging correctness and style issues at the point where they are cheapest to fix.

It reads the working tree and diff, executes git commands to determine what changed, and calls the review service, so it declares filesystem read, git access, and outbound network. It is deliberately review-only rather than edit-capable, which is the right shape for this job — advisory output costs a human a moment of attention when wrong, where an automatic fix costs a debugging session. Note that reviewing a diff means the diff leaves the machine.

## Why it scored 10

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 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Published by the vendor | -40 | trust offset |  |

Clamped result: **10/100**, band **low**.

## Capabilities

| Capability | Name | Security implication |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `filesystem:read` | Filesystem read | Can read files on the host system. Used for context, indexing, or analysis. |
| `git:access` | Git access | Reads or writes through git. Allows changes to commit history, branches, and remotes. |
| `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. |
