## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 12 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Telemetry warning (can be blocked)
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Telemetry
- **Selected version:** 1.5.0
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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.

The package includes opt-out runtime telemetry that reports tool-call metadata and result sizes to DotZero’s service. The stored DotZero token is sent to that service, while the browser-auth helper is a user-invoked local login flow; the telemetry behavior warrants a warning rather than a block.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-11-02T19:34:41.700Z

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:** Undisclosed runtime telemetry is sent when consumers use the exported tool instrumentation helper; no attack was identified in the browser-auth helper.

- **Trigger:** A consumer wraps a tool handler with instrumentTool and the tool is called; telemetry is on unless DOTZERO\_TELEMETRY is set to an off value.

- **Impact:** DotZero receives tool and client metadata, filtered argument values, outcome and timing data, HTTP status/count, and result byte counts.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/mcp-client/telemetry.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T19:35:23.433Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The wrapper records tool-call details and queues events for POST to the DotZero MCP calls endpoint, authenticated with the stored DotZero token.

- **Rationale:** The package includes opt-out runtime telemetry that reports tool-call metadata and result sizes to DotZero’s service. The stored DotZero token is sent to that service, while the browser-auth helper is a user-invoked local login flow; the telemetry behavior warrants a warning rather than a block.

- **Files touched:** dist/mcp-client/telemetry.js, dist/auth/browser-auth.js, dist/auth/client.js

- **Network endpoints:** https://agent-webui-api.dotzero.app/api/v1/mcp-calls

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** instrumentTool records tool-call metadata and queues a telemetry event after calls., The event includes sanitized arguments and the result’s byte count, not its text content., When telemetry is active, queued events are POSTed to the DotZero MCP calls endpoint using a stored DotZero token., Telemetry is enabled by default and can be disabled with DOTZERO\_TELEMETRY.

- **Evidence against:** The browser-auth flow is an exported, user-invoked login helper that serves a local page and sends credentials to the configured DotZero User API., The browser-auth HTTP server binds to 127.0.0.1; importing the package does not itself start that server., The telemetry sender uses a DotZero API endpoint and sends the stored DotZero token to that service.
