Is ScratchTools for Scratch safe?
ScratchTools for Scratch sends enabled feature settings to its server and includes them in its uninstall URL.
ScratchTools for Scratch reads the saved list of enabled features and posts it to data.scratchtools.app/create/ to receive a code. It also checks the logged-in Scratch username and prepares an uninstall URL on scratchtools.app that includes the feature code, username when available, install time, and extension version.
Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 9 hostnames
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.

Where it sends data
