Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Postinstall performs first-party setup of this SDK's own agent-skill namespace, with an optional same-vendor MCP skill sync that runs only when the operator already configured the endpoint and token. That automatic agent-surface write is a guarded lifecycle risk and is not a hidden foreign control-surface hijack or a separate exfiltration chain. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-22T16:40:43.897Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-22T16:42:07.168Z - **Download time:** 757 ms - **Static scan time:** 816 ms - **AI review time:** 81696 ms - **Total time:** 83271 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** A local npm install runs postinstall, which copies this package's agent skills into the consumer repository at .agents/skills/command-center. When Main Sequence MCP settings are already present, it also writes fetched platform skills under .agents/skills/mainsequence. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall on a non-global install when INIT\_CWD names a consumer project directory. - **Impact:** Agent runtimes that load .agents/skills receive package-authored skill text, and optionally remotely supplied skill text, without a separate install command. Writes stay inside the command-center and mainsequence namespaces. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, cli/postinstall.mjs, cli/install-agent-skills.mjs, cli/install-mcp-skills.mjs, cli/mcp-platform-skills.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-22T16:42:07.168Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** cli/postinstall.mjs calls installAgentSkills unconditionally for that project, then calls installMcpAgentSkills after an authenticated catalog fetch unless COMMAND\_CENTER\_SDK\_MCP\_POSTINSTALL is 0 or the URL and token are missing. - **Rationale:** Postinstall performs first-party setup of this SDK's own agent-skill namespace, with an optional same-vendor MCP skill sync that runs only when the operator already configured the endpoint and token. That automatic agent-surface write is a guarded lifecycle risk and is not a hidden foreign control-surface hijack or a separate exfiltration chain. - **Files touched:** .agents/skills/command-center, .agents/skills/mainsequence ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json postinstall runs node ./cli/postinstall.mjs on install., That hook calls installAgentSkills for the consumer INIT\_CWD and labels the command npm postinstall., Copied skills land in the consumer .agents/skills/command-center tree and stale entries in that namespace are removed., If a Main Sequence MCP URL and MAINSEQUENCE\_ACCESS\_TOKEN are already set, postinstall also fetches a skill catalog and writes it under .agents/skills/mainsequence unless COMMAND\_CENTER\_SDK\_MCP\_POSTINSTALL is 0. - **Evidence against:** Global installs and the SDK source repository are skipped, and the local copy stays inside the command-center skill namespace with symlink and path checks., The MCP URL is taken only from caller configuration, the bearer token is sent only to that URL, and a missing configuration skips the network step., No install-time shell, eval, or runtime dependency on this same package name was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @dev-mainsequence/command-center-sdk@0.4.2. - Review the evidence and your use of @dev-mainsequence/command-center-sdk@0.4.2 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
