Marketplace Rules
The marketplace rules section allows admins to configure the content policies, submission requirements, and category definitions that govern what can be published on the marketplace.
Rule Categories
Forbidden Patterns
Keyword and regex patterns that automatically flag package names, descriptions, or tags for manual review.
Category Definitions
Add, edit, or remove marketplace categories and domain sub-categories. Configure icons and descriptions.
Submission Requirements
Configure minimum description length, required manifest fields, and screenshot count requirements.
Security Scan Policy
Configure which severity levels of security findings block approval. Default: Critical and High block; Medium warns.
Forbidden Pattern Rules
Forbidden patterns are evaluated against package names, short descriptions, long descriptions, and tags at submission time. Patterns can be plain text (case-insensitive substring match) or regular expressions.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Pattern | Text string or regex — e.g., /exploit|malware|crack/i |
| Match Fields | Which fields to apply this pattern to: Name, Description, Tags, All |
| Action | Block (reject automatically) or Flag (send to manual review queue) |
| Reason | Admin-authored explanation shown to publishers if their submission is blocked by this rule |
| Active | Toggle to enable or disable the rule without deleting it |
Submission Requirements
| Requirement | Default | Configurable |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum description length | 100 characters | Yes — can increase but not below 50 |
| Screenshots required | 1 minimum | Yes — 0 to 3 |
| Tags required | 1 minimum | Yes — 0 to 3 |
| Category required | Yes — always required | No — always required |
Changes to submission requirements apply to new submissions only — existing published packages are not retroactively evaluated against updated requirements. If a published package would fail under new rules, it remains published until it is manually flagged or the publisher submits an update.
