@compr/opscontext-mcp@2.8.1
OpsContext for AI Agents — read-only fleet visibility (PM2/nginx/Docker/git/cron) + tamper-evident audit log + policy-as-code hooks. The ops + compliance layer Claude Code can't grow natively.
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is not a malicious install hook because no install lifecycle trigger exists, but explicit commands modify an AI-agent control surface and create persistence. The audit-discouraging source comment adds a concrete social-engineering signal.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The user runs opscontext install-claude-hook or opscontext install-autostart.
Impact
Captured Claude Code prompts and tool metadata are retained by the local OpsContext service; the service can start at login.
Mechanism
CLI-installed Claude hooks and a per-user LaunchAgent send events to a local collector.
AI rationale
This is not a malicious install hook because no install lifecycle trigger exists, but explicit commands modify an AI-agent control surface and create persistence. The audit-discouraging source comment adds a concrete social-engineering signal.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Activation source contains a comment telling auditors not to review it, which is reviewer manipulation.
- An explicit CLI command installs Claude Code hooks and rewrites its settings file.
- The installed hook reads Claude hook input, including prompts and tool-call previews, then sends it to a local collector.
- An explicit CLI command creates and bootstraps a persistent macOS LaunchAgent.
Evidence against
- package.json has only a prepublishOnly script, not an install-time lifecycle hook.
- The Claude-hook and autostart behaviors are dispatched only by named CLI commands.
- The hook posts to 127.0.0.1 rather than an external endpoint.
- No runtime dependency on this package itself is declared.
