metadata-assistant

[Paul Clarke]

While using Bitbucket today I had a request to allow a new app "metadata-assistant". I cannot find any information on this plugin. Does anyone know where it comes from? Is it safe?

Hi Paul,

Metadata Assistant is an Atlassian-developed connect application which tracks information about metadata in your repositories, for example: how long PRs take to merge. It has recently had it’s scopes changed, which means all users have to approve its use. It’s nothing malicious, but if you don’t approve it the iframe which shows the metadata cannot render when you are in the PR view.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!
