@edictum/captatum@0.7.0

Captatum — adaptive MCP web-fetch tool for AI agents: SSRF-safe, injection-safe reads with a provenance receipt on every call; renders JS only when needed, extracts structured data (JSON-LD/OG).

AI Security Review

scanned 4m ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

No confirmed malicious attack surface was found. Network and file-write primitives are package-aligned: user-invoked web fetching, optional LLM transformation, optional rendering, and explicit agent skill installation.

Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Explicit CLI invocation or MCP tool call by the user/client.
Impact
Fetches user-requested URLs and may write package-owned agent skill guidance only when the user runs the skill install command.
Mechanism
Guarded web fetch/MCP server with optional user-configured LLM provider and explicit skill installer.
Rationale
The risky primitives are activated by explicit CLI/MCP use and match the package’s documented purpose as a guarded web-fetch MCP tool. There is no lifecycle hook, credential harvesting, hidden persistence, remote code execution, or unconsented foreign AI-agent control-surface mutation.

Decision evidence

public snapshot
AI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
    Evidence against
    • package.json defines no npm lifecycle scripts; only a bin entrypoint is exposed.
    • bin/captatum.mjs only re-execs local dist/cli.js with args or dist/interfaces/mcp/stdio-bridge.js without args.
    • dist/cli.js fetches a user-supplied URL or runs explicit `captatum skill install/print`; no install/import-time mutation.
    • dist/interfaces/mcp/skill.js writes Claude/Codex skill files only after explicit CLI `skill install`, with package-aligned fetch guidance.
    • dist/infrastructure/http/guarded-fetcher.js validates redirects, DNS/public addresses, blocked ports, timeouts, and byte caps for web fetches.
    • dist/infrastructure/llm/openrouter.js and http-json.js use configured provider endpoints and guard cleartext API-key egress.
