      <title>I shipped three free client-side scorecards (agents, cloud bills, observability) and refused to upload your paste</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Agent configs and billing exports often contain secrets: API keys, account IDs, internal service names. So when I built &lt;strong&gt;Arup Banerjee Labs&lt;/strong&gt;, I set one rule first: whatever you paste stays in your browser.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The result is three small, free tools that turn a paste into a scorecard.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  The constraint that shaped the suite
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Most "analyze your config" tools want you to upload a file or grant OAuth access to your cloud org. That's a big ask when all you want is a quick sanity check. A static site that parses and scores locally removes the trust problem: there's no backend to leak to, because there's no backend.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Everything is hosted on GitHub Pages, and the source is public: &lt;a href="https://github.com/ultimatixarup/arup-banerjee-labs" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://github.com/ultimatixarup/arup-banerjee-labs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Tool 1: Agent Health Checker
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Paste an AI agent config (JSON, YAML, or plain text) and get a reliability/privacy scorecard. It looks for the things demos tend to hide:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;retries and backoff&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;timeouts&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;tracing hooks&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;secrets sitting in the config&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;tool-auth notes and injection-prone tool sinks&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;evals/tests&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;a single LLM with no fallback&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://ultimatixarup.github.io/arup-banerjee-labs/agent-health-checker/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://ultimatixarup.github.io/arup-banerjee-labs/agent-health-checker/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Tool 2: Cloud Bill Smell Detector
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Paste a cost CSV, invoice export, or billing JSON that you exported from your own account, and get an educational smell scorecard: idle-looking lines, missing tags, transfer-heavy patterns, and similar heuristics.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Explicit non-goals: it never connects to AWS, GCP, or Azure, and it only looks at text you paste.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://ultimatixarup.github.io/arup-banerjee-labs/cloud-bill-smell/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://ultimatixarup.github.io/arup-banerjee-labs/cloud-bill-smell/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Tool 3: Observability Gap Finder
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Paste OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, or Splunk-style config snippets, or a service inventory YAML, and get a gaps scorecard: missing SLIs, services without tracing, no cardinality guards.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://ultimatixarup.github.io/arup-banerjee-labs/observability-gap-finder/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://ultimatixarup.github.io/arup-banerjee-labs/observability-gap-finder/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What "heuristic" means here
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These are prioritization aids, not audit stamps. They'll produce false positives, and they won't catch everything. The goal is a fast "what should I look at first?" before something hits production.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Verify the privacy claim yourself
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Open your browser's DevTools, switch to the Network tab, paste something, and run a score. Your paste should never leave the page. If you ever see it go out, that's a bug and I want to know.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What's next
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm collecting feedback on wrong and missing checks. If one of these flags something silly, or misses something obvious in your stack, open an issue on the repo or leave a comment here.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Try the suite: &lt;a href="https://ultimatixarup.github.io/arup-banerjee-labs/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://ultimatixarup.github.io/arup-banerjee-labs/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
