# Is `pypi:pydantic-core` safe to install? (snapshot)

**This page is a snapshot, not clearance, and not a safety guarantee.**
Advisories, registry data and KarmaDue answers change.
**Recheck live immediately before you install.** Do not treat `no_known_issues` or a missing record as approval.

- Target: `pypi:pydantic-core`
- Ecosystem: `pypi`
- Package: `pydantic-core`
- Decision: `warn`

- Headline: Caution before you install pydantic-core==2.50.4: it was published 6 days ago (under 7 days). Go ahead with normal care; nothing here is a safety guarantee.

## Sources in this snapshot

- checked: pypi registry: package exists
- checked: pypi usage and publisher: 273,078,676 downloads last week, publisher "Samuel Colvin", first published 2022-04-20

## Gaps (what was not checked)

- no KarmaDue catalog record, so nothing beyond the registry and advisory feeds was assessed
- behaviour at run time is never observed by this check

## Recheck live before install

Safety MCP (streamable HTTP, no account):

One-line MCP call:

    check {"target":"pypi:pydantic-core","action":"install"}

curl:

```bash
curl -s -X POST https://ogogoizwsfaduzehkshb.supabase.co/functions/v1/mcp/safety \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' -H 'accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \

  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"check","arguments":{"target":"pypi:pydantic-core","action":"install"}}}'
```

This snapshot was produced with the header `X-KD-Via: kd-founder-test` so KarmaDue can exclude founder test traffic from usage counts when that tagging is in place. You do not need that header.
