Checks the build tools on the machine (appimagetool, Electron, AppImage runtime), tells the user exactly what is missing and where to get it, and can download it for them. Use this whenever the user wants a course "na Linuxa", "jako apli
Why this score

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
