AI Security Review
scanned 8h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe changed auth code supports a space-scoped provider daemon, and the flagged skill writes occur through setup. Network activity reviewed is the explicitly invoked feedback submission to Cotal’s intake; no install hook or unrelated credential flow was found.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
No malicious automatic trigger identified; feedback sends on command invocation, and skill reconciliation runs during setup.
Impact
No unauthorized credential collection, unrelated data transfer, or hidden agent-control change was found.
Mechanism
The new auth code starts the configured provider daemon for a space. Setup reconciles package-authored skills; feedback posts the submitted report to the Cotal intake.
AI rationale
The changed auth code supports a space-scoped provider daemon, and the flagged skill writes occur through setup. Network activity reviewed is the explicitly invoked feedback submission to Cotal’s intake; no install hook or unrelated credential flow was found.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 93.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package scripts shown are development and test commands; package.json declares no install lifecycle hook.
- The added auth process is started through ensureAuthService for a requested space and uses the configured provider command.
- Agent skill reconciliation is part of the explicit setup --skills flow and manages Cotal-authored SKILL.md files under ~/.agents/skills.
- Feedback is sent only by the feedback command to the Cotal intake endpoint, using its feedback key or a user-supplied override.
