Continuous scanner CI not detected

This plugin remains listed. Its overall trust score is reduced by 10% because security checks are not maintained in the source repository's CI.

Optional: maintain the scanner in the source repository's CI to receive the full trust score. Listing does not require that change.

README badge not detected

Plugin owners can add the HOL badge to the repository README from Guard Plugins. Distribution, not security evidence. It adds a 2% engagement adjustment to the overall trust score and never changes the security result.

Codex plugin docs

Optional: install HOL Guard for Codex first, so it can check this plugin's tools on your machine before Codex uses them.

  1. 1

    Register the marketplace

    Run in any terminal. Codex reads the marketplace entry from .agents/plugins/marketplace.json (or the legacy .claude-plugin path) in the repository. If the repository ships none, add the generated entry from the Advanced section below first.

    shell
  2. 2

    Install from the Plugins browser

    Open Codex, open the Plugins browser, choose the marketplace registered by the previous command, and install codex-autoresearch.

  3. 3

    Check the marketplace is registered

    This confirms the marketplace source only. Confirm the plugin itself is enabled in the Plugins browser before relying on it.

    shell
