EchoMem MCP bridge for cross-agent memory, local history import, and recall
AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged credential flow uses the EchoMem API base rather than a hard-coded unrelated collector. Startup maintenance is limited to existing EchoMem-owned agent guidance and lifecycle hooks; analytics is described as restricted to allow-listed product metadata with an opt-out.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Setup and login run when explicitly invoked; agent-configuration refresh and update checks can run when the MCP server starts.
Impact
No unauthorized credential transfer, unrelated code execution, or unrequested account action was identified.
Mechanism
The package contacts its EchoMem API and PostHog for product analytics, and maintains only EchoMem-owned guidance and hook entries in agent configuration.
AI rationale
The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged credential flow uses the EchoMem API base rather than a hard-coded unrelated collector. Startup maintenance is limited to existing EchoMem-owned agent guidance and lifecycle hooks; analytics is described as restricted to allow-listed product metadata with an opt-out.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json has no install, preinstall, or postinstall script; its scripts are for build, start, development, and checks.
- The API client sends the device token to the configured EchoMem API base, which defaults to echo-mem-chrome.vercel.app.
- Default server startup refreshes EchoMem-owned agent guidance and existing lifecycle-hook command paths; the refresh functions leave files without those existing markers or hooks alone.
- The analytics code describes its collected fields as allow-listed and excludes emails, paths, memory text, queries, tokens, and keys.
- Analytics events carry app/version/platform/architecture, installation ID, command, and event data to PostHog; the code supports telemetry opt-out.
Evidence against
- Server startup does write to agent configuration files, but only to refresh EchoMem-owned guidance or existing EchoMem lifecycle hooks.
- The package includes process execution and automatic update code, but the reviewed paths stage this package's own runtime and do not show unrelated code execution.
