@cotal-ai/connector-jcode@0.135.13
Cotal connector for Jcode: a host-mode mesh peer driven through Jcode's Harness API bridge.
AI Security Review
scanned 2d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe connector automatically makes credentials from multiple other AI and agent tools available to Jcode, without a provider-specific opt-in. This appears intended to support Jcode, but the broad default credential handoff creates account-use risk, so warn rather than block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
When the Jcode host starts a seat.
Impact
Jcode may act with accounts from other AI tools without a separate opt-in for each credential source. No direct transmission to an unrelated host was established.
Mechanism
Copies discovered credential files from the user’s home into the seat’s private Jcode home, where the Jcode process can use them.
AI rationale
The connector automatically makes credentials from multiple other AI and agent tools available to Jcode, without a provider-specific opt-in. This appears intended to support Jcode, but the broad default credential handoff creates account-use risk, so warn rather than block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 87.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The host bundle lists credentials from Claude, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, Copilot, and other agent tools for import.
- When a Jcode seat starts, the connector inventories external credential files and copies them into that seat’s Jcode home.
- The credential import runs automatically during host startup; the connector removes the copied credentials during shutdown.
Evidence against
- The manifest has no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook.
- The inspected code copies credentials into Jcode’s local home; I found no direct request sending them to an unrelated collector.
- The connector removes its credential copies when the Jcode process shuts down.
