Analysis summary

Pieces for Developers is a community-maintained IDE extension from Pieces. Anomity scores its risk at 50 out of 100 (medium).

Pieces captures snippets, context, and workflow history into a local repository an assistant can draw on, with a long-term memory feature that records what you were working on across applications.

It reads and writes local storage and reaches the network for model calls, so it declares filesystem read and write with outbound network. The memory feature is the reason it is worth reviewing carefully rather than installing casually: a tool that continuously records developer activity across applications builds a detailed corpus of what was on screen, which is valuable to the developer and would be equally valuable to an attacker who reached the machine.

Why this entry scored 50 out of 100

This profile starts at the catalog's neutral base of 50. Because the entry is community-maintained, trust adjusts the score by -10. Declared high-risk capabilities add +10 (capped at +30). It matches no dangerous capability combinations. The clamped result is 50, placing it in the medium band.

Capabilities

Every capability the entry declares, with the security implication of each.

  • 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.
