Audit how long each credential keeps working after it should stop: one row per credential kind (auth session, API key, operator token, sign-in, socket ticket, and any other the code has) and channel (HTTP request, realtime socket, bus control message, worker), with where it is checked, how often, what one check costs, the worst case a revoked credential keeps working, how a change of role or membership reaches it, its rate limit, and whether it fails open or closed when the cache is down.…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# audit-credential-lifetimes A credential is revoked, a member is removed, a role drops from admin to member. How long until every place that trusted the old answer stops trusting it? This audit answers that for every credential on every channel it travels, from the code, and counts what each check costs on a database of its own. ## Input `[--bound <duration>]` `--bound` is the longest a revoked credential, an ended membership, or a lowered role may keep working anywhere: 5 minutes by default. Say the bound and where it came from. The audit reads the checkout, tools and code alike; to audit another commit, run it from a checkout of that commit that has `ops/audit/`. Every command runs from the repository root. ## Role and credential None, local only. The counts run on the local stack (`make infra-up`, with `make migrate` run once), in a database the run makes and drops, with the identity provider's twin in place of the provider. It holds no cloud credential, reads no environment, and reads no env file. ## Procedure 1. Name the run: `audit_credential_lifetimes_<yyyymmdd>`, today's date in UTC. When `uv run python ops/audit/auditdb.py list` shows that …

How to install
mdr add baristaze/swe_guidelines/audit-credential-lifetimes@sha256:d172a09cb6b8e591The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.62aa70e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
