🛡️ SentryBox Security Scanner

Know if your Python packages are safe — before they run.

SentryBox automatically scans every import in your Python files and tells you whether the package is safe or dangerous. Results appear right next to your code.


✨ What It Does

Auto-Scans Your Imports

Write Python as usual. SentryBox detects your imports and scans them automatically.

import requests        ✅ SAFE · risk 1/10
import flask           ✅ SAFE · risk 2/10
import evil_package    🚫 BLOCKED · risk 9/10

Shows Results Inline

No need to check logs or dashboards. Verdicts appear right next to your import line:

  • ✅ SAFE — Package is clean
  • 🚫 BLOCKED — Package has security risks
  • ⏳ Scanning... — Analysis in progress

Remembers Results

Once a package is scanned, the result is cached for 30 days. Next time you import it — the verdict appears instantly.

Alerts You to Threats

If a package is flagged as dangerous, you'll get a notification popup immediately so you can take action.


🚀 Getting Started

  1. Install from the VS Code Marketplace
  2. Open any Python file
  3. That's it — verdicts appear next to your imports automatically

No setup. No configuration. Works out of the box.


⚙️ Settings (Optional)

Setting Description
sentryBox.apiUrl Change the scanning server URL (for self-hosting)

🔒 Privacy

  • Only package names are sent for analysis — never your source code
  • All communication is over HTTPS
  • Scans happen on isolated servers — nothing runs on your machine
