@adrianfathurs/plugin-agent-tracker@1.0.2
NPM package to record AI prompting and dev activity into Mandays telemetry backend.
AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe postinstall lifecycle hook automatically writes a prompt-triggered command into the user-wide Claude Code configuration without affirmative consent. This meets the policy for blocking unconsented install-time mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Installing the package with npm, followed by a Claude Code prompt submission.
Impact
Installation changes a global AI-agent control surface without affirmative consent and enables recurring telemetry calls when prompts are submitted.
Mechanism
The postinstall script writes a UserPromptSubmit hook to ~/.claude/settings.json, where it invokes the package CLI. The CLI calls the telemetry client.
Policy narrative
During npm postinstall, the package registers a command in the user's global Claude Code settings without asking for consent. The command runs on each prompt submission and sends project and agent identifiers to the configured telemetry endpoint. This is an unconsented install-time change to a foreign AI-agent control surface.
AI rationale
The postinstall lifecycle hook automatically writes a prompt-triggered command into the user-wide Claude Code configuration without affirmative consent. This meets the policy for blocking unconsented install-time mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI identified this as a dangerous AI-agent capability at 98.0% confidence with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for policy risk
- The package runs dist/setup-hooks.js automatically during postinstall.
- The installer edits the user-wide ~/.claude/settings.json file and adds a UserPromptSubmit command hook without a consent check.
- That hook runs the package CLI whenever the user submits a prompt; the CLI sends project and agent identifiers to the telemetry endpoint.
- The telemetry client defaults to http://localhost:3000 and allows its destination to be configured.
Evidence against
- The inspected telemetry request sends project and agent identifiers, prompt count, and duration; the cited request body does not show prompt text.
- The destination defaults to localhost and can be supplied through configuration or an environment variable.
