Verified and Unverified Tools

Marketplace labels help you understand how each tool has been reviewed before you install it.

Verified Tools

A Verified tool has passed a human review by the PPTB team. Reviewers check that it is documented, maintained, secure, compatible with PPTB, and ready to use. Verified tools display a checkmark badge and are sorted to the top of the marketplace.

Look for this checkmark beside Verified tools.

PPTB continues to monitor Verified tools. The badge can be removed when a serious security issue appears, permissions change, maintenance falls behind, or the tool does not keep up with a breaking PPTB API change.

Unverified Tools

Every marketplace tool begins as Unverified and completes automated validation. Unverified means the tool has not completed the additional human verification review; it does not by itself mean that the tool was rejected or is low quality.

An Unverified tool may also be waiting for review or re-verification after an update or maintenance issue.

Choosing a Tool

The Verified badge is an extra trust signal, not a substitute for choosing a tool that fits your needs. Before installing any tool, review its description, author, permissions, documentation, version, downloads, and user reviews.

For Tool Authors

The Tool Maturity Model explains how to request verification, what reviewers check, and how to keep or regain the badge.
