Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package's MCP wrapper automatically sends tool error messages and exception objects to its telemetry services, although the first-run notice does not disclose error reporting. This is a runtime telemetry privacy risk, so warn rather than block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-04T03:43:44.401Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-04T03:44:52.137Z - **Download time:** 252 ms - **Static scan time:** 317 ms - **AI review time:** 67167 ms - **Total time:** 67736 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** MCP tool exceptions are sent to the package's analytics and error-reporting services, with exception messages not covered by the first-run telemetry notice. - **Trigger:** A user starts the MCP server and an MCP tool handler throws. - **Impact:** Exception messages or details may disclose user-provided input or tool data beyond the collection described in the notice. - **Evidence paths:** dist/commands/mcp/serve.js, dist/lib/telemetry/telemetry.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-04T03:44:52.137Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The wrapper records the error message in a PostHog event and forwards the exception object to Sentry. - **Rationale:** The package's MCP wrapper automatically sends tool error messages and exception objects to its telemetry services, although the first-run notice does not disclose error reporting. This is a runtime telemetry privacy risk, so warn rather than block. - **Network endpoints:** us.i.posthog.com, o4509208616435714.ingest.us.sentry.io ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Whenever an MCP tool handler throws, the wrapper sends the exception to Sentry and includes its message in a PostHog event; exceptions can contain user or tool data., The first-run notice describes usage fields and says no code, schema, or file contents are collected, but does not disclose sending MCP tool errors. - **Evidence against:** Telemetry is sent to the package's own PostHog and Sentry services., Telemetry can be disabled through configuration or environment variables., The MCP tool error reporting only runs after a user starts the MCP server and a tool handler throws. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @apso/cli@0.46.3. - Review the evidence and your use of @apso/cli@0.46.3 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
