Why this score

11 public GitHub projects have this in their committed setup (counted 2026-10-07). That counts people who kept it, not people who starred it. Private projects aren't visible, so the real number is higher.

Popularity score: 75/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank

Security

Scanned Nov 4, 2026 at the PyPI package voice-mode@9.0.2, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.

What its code does:

• Reads environment variables and sends network requests with them API clients do this to send your key to the service. Check which service it talks to.voice_mode/cli.py, voice_mode/config.py, voice_mode/cartesia_tts.py:113 and 2 more
• Runs shell commands Common for dev tools. Read the commands it runs.CHANGELOG.md:1, PKG-INFO:2, README.md:2 and 10 more
• Makes network requestsvoice_mode/tools/impressions/profiles.py:160, voice_mode/tools/mlx_audio/status.py:36, voice_mode/utils/download.py:66 and 3 more
• Reads environment variables, where API keys usually livevoice_mode/tools/whisper/install.py:590
• Installs system packagesvoice_mode/tools/whisper/install.py:525, voice_mode/utils/ffmpeg_check.py:107 and 6 more
• Uses dependencies without a pinned version A later version of a dependency could change what runs.pyproject.toml:31 and 34 more

These are the sites named in the code, so it's where your data could go. It isn't a complete list: code can build addresses while it runs, and a few of these may be links rather than calls. Whatever you send also goes to the AI model you use.

A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
