Compare two AI tools side by side
Put any two skills or MCP servers next to each other: risk grade, what each can access, how popular it is, and how to install it.
| What | plumber | alook |
|---|---|---|
| Risk grade | DD · High risk signals Based on public adoption and transparency signals as of Oct 21, 2026. Our opinion, not a code audit or security guarantee. | CC · Moderate risk signals Based on public adoption and transparency signals as of Oct 17, 2026. Our opinion, not a code audit or security guarantee. |
| Type | AI agent skill | AI agent skill |
| Est. context load | ~78 tokens idle · ~1.4k tokens when active (on-demand skill) | ~50 tokens idle · ~450 tokens when active (on-demand skill) |
| GitHub stars | 2 | 1.5k |
| Weekly npm downloads | — | — |
| Local files | No local folder access noted | No local folder access noted |
| Command execution | No shell command runner noted | No shell command runner noted |
| Network reach | Local or standard API calls | Connects to outside service API |
| Credentials | No API token required | No API token required |

| Install command | Source repo only | Source repo only |
| Bottom line | Signal-based grade (1/7 points): public source code. This reflects adoption and transparency, not a code review. | Alook lets multiple AI agents and people share spaces together—so it's critical to verify permissions, validate all inputs, and monitor who can see and change shared data, since mistakes could leak information between agents or let bad actors trick AI into wrong actions. |
