Chemical X Protocol: Private drop-in architecture starter kit and capsule generator
AI Security Review
scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package has no npm lifecycle hook, but its explicit installer can add behavior-bearing AI-agent guidance to a project AGENTS.md file. This guarded, user-invoked configuration capability warrants a warning, not a block.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; source closely matched a different package identity; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The user selects the agent-query setup option or invokes its dashboard action.
Impact
Future AI-agent behavior in that project may be steered toward this package's search command.
Mechanism
The installer adds package search scripts and appends instructions to an existing AGENTS.md file.
AI rationale
The package has no npm lifecycle hook, but its explicit installer can add behavior-bearing AI-agent guidance to a project AGENTS.md file. This guarded, user-invoked configuration capability warrants a warning, not a block.
Evidence

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The CLI offers agent-query setup through a user-selected installer option.
- That setup adds `q` and `search` scripts and appends search directives to an existing AGENTS.md.
- The directive tells AI agents to use the package's search command before broad repository searches.
- The setup is exposed through an explicit dashboard action; no npm lifecycle hook is declared in the manifest.
Evidence against
- The configuration change requires an explicit CLI setup action or installer selection.
- The setup uses a package-specific marker to avoid appending the AGENTS.md directive repeatedly.
