MCP servers for Caelo CMS: `caelo_chat` (talk to Caelo's own AI) and the admin-scoped Power-MCP (the full chat-runner tool catalogue, driven by your own agent). Lets Claude Code (or any MCP-aware client) drive a Caelo install from outside the browser.

AI Security Review

scanned 10d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Source inspection found no install-time attack: the only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly and runs the build. The flagged credential flow is conditional IAP authentication to the configured admin origin, while agent configuration writes require an explicit export command.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

The operator runs the export command or configures IAP for the admin install.

Impact

No malicious effect was established; these operations match the package's stated functions.

Mechanism

Export fetches context from the configured admin URL and writes generated files to the selected output directory. Optional IAP authentication uses Google IAM to sign a JWT for that admin origin.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 96.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

The package exposes the dist runtime entrypoints; its only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly, which runs the build compiler.
The agent configuration export runs only through the explicit export command, and writes generated context from the configured Caelo admin install.
IAP authentication is inactive unless the operator configures CAELO_IAP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT, and it requires the configured admin URL.
The Google Application Default Credentials token is sent to Google's IAM Credentials signJwt endpoint to sign a JWT whose audience is the configured admin origin.
Ordinary API requests go to the configured admin URL and carry the Caelo token and, when configured, the IAP authorization header.
Exported CLAUDE.md and skill files are written to the caller-selected output directory; skill slugs are checked before creating skill paths.

8 * runs, so the shim has to satisfy both gates: IAP first, Caelo second

9 * (CLAUDE.md §11.B — IAP stays the first line of defense).

10 *

11 * Cloud Run native IAP uses a Google-managed OAuth client, which does not

12 * allow programmatic access with user tokens. What it does accept is a

13 * JWT signed by an allowlisted service account (Google's documented

14 * "service account JWT" path): `iss`/`sub` = the SA, `aud` = the admin

15 * origin with a path wildcard, signed via the IAM Credentials `signJwt`

16 * API. The provisioner creates that SA (`caelo-mcp@<project>`), allowlists

17 * it on IAP and lets every IAP-allowlisted operator impersonate it, so the

18 * operator's own `gcloud auth application-default login` is all the shim

19 * needs — no service-account keys on laptops (CLAUDE.md §11.C).

20 *

21 * Active only when `CAELO_IAP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT` is set (the admin's

22 * /settings/mcp page puts it into the `claude mcp add` command on IAP

23 * installs); otherwise requests go out exactly as before.
