It registers MCP servers and installs a pre-tool hook without an explicit setup command. - **Trigger:** npm installation of the package in a consumer project - **Impact:** The package can cause future AI-agent sessions to execute its MCP commands and hook runtime. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/node/postinstall.cjs, scripts/node/install-bridges.cjs, scripts/node/bridge-mcp-wiring.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-04T16:30:02.304Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall bridge deployment and AI-agent configuration mutation - **Attack narrative:** On npm install, the postinstall script identifies the consumer project and launches a four-platform bridge installer. That installer modifies project AI configuration and installs integrations for OpenCode, Grok, Hermes, and OpenClaw. The OpenClaw path writes a Node pre-tool hook and hook manifest under the user's home directory, making the package runtime part of later agent tool decisions. This is an unconsented, broad AI-agent control-surface mutation during installation. - **Rationale:** The automatic postinstall changes both consumer-project and home-directory AI-agent configuration, including enabled MCP commands and a pre-tool hook. This meets the install-hook abuse boundary despite no confirmed secret theft or remote payload execution. - **Files touched:** opencode.json, .mcp.json, .xray/, ~/.openclaw/hooks/xray-pre-tool.mjs, ~/.openclaw/hooks/xray-pre-tool.json, ~/.hermes/config.yaml, ~/.grok/plugins/0xray ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The npm postinstall hook automatically runs the consumer installer., That installer deploys four AI-platform bridges into the consuming project., It merges enabled local MCP commands into the consumer OpenCode configuration., It installs and enables an OpenClaw pre-tool hook in the user's home configuration. - **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting or network exfiltration was found in the inspected install path., The installed hook is a package-owned tool gate rather than an opaque payload. ## Public findings ### 1.
