Using this is kind of a pain in the butt (looking thru all installed extensions and pasting in the raw name one by one). Could this be packaged as an extension itself, that scans other extensions? Or provide a CLI command to export all of your installed extensions as a list, which you can then upload? Or better, a one liner that will export your extensions to stdin, POST them to your API, and it will return a URL that you can click and load in the browser to explore the breakdown of (potential) issues.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was thinking about making this into a chrome web extension that people can use on a marketplace page or even using MCP to make this tool really accessible for Cursor and Windsurf users.

As for the raw name, most extensions should work if you just put the display name. The search algorithm directly pulls from the vscode marketplace.
