Reviewer notes

Reviewed review. These are observations, not a security certification.

audit 2026-07-05 stale-eval refresh: Scored from trust signals (evidence-eval-v1): 348 GitHub stars; 10 contributors; last commit 20d ago; license MIT.

2026-04-02: LIMITATION: Uses patch-package in production dependencies (unusual for supply chain integrity). High value only for location-centric use cases.

Things to check

Requires valid Mapbox API credentials with active account and billing. Rate limits and costs scale with usage; geocoding and routing operations can accumulate charges quickly on large batches.
