## Verdict summary
**Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk
- **Selected version:** 1.2.11
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **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.

This is an explicit-user-command, first-party agent extension with detached hook execution and sensitive local telemetry access. It warrants warning for lifecycle/privacy risk, but source inspection does not establish malicious behavior.

## Latest scan

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:** The user-invoked CLI deploys a FlyDocs-managed AI-agent extension into a project. Its Stop hook can trigger usage collection from local AI session stores after server-backed workspace consent.

- **Trigger:** Run the FlyDocs CLI init/update, then use the installed Claude hook.

- **Impact:** Project agent configuration is modified; usage/session metadata and optional plan status may be sent to FlyDocs.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli.js, template/.claude/settings.json, template/.claude/hooks/usage-capture.py, template/.claude/hooks/auto-approve.py

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-04T20:19:02.366Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Project agent-hook installation and consent-gated AI usage reporting

- **Rationale:** This is an explicit-user-command, first-party agent extension with detached hook execution and sensitive local telemetry access. It warrants warning for lifecycle/privacy risk, but source inspection does not establish malicious behavior.

- **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json, .claude/hooks/usage-capture.py, .claude/skills/, .cursor/hooks.json, ~/.claude/.credentials.json, ~/.claude/projects/, ~/.codex/sessions/, ~/.cursor/ai-tracking/ai-code-tracking.db

- **Network endpoints:** https://app.flydocs.ai/api/relay/usage/sessions, https://api.anthropic.com/api/oauth/usage, https://cursor.com/api/usage, https://us.i.posthog.com/batch/

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** Explicit CLI setup installs Claude/Cursor hooks and agent files into the target project., Stop hook launches detached \`flydocs usage report\` after agent responses., Usage reporting reads local Claude, Codex, and Cursor session metadata; it posts records to FlyDocs only after workspace consent checks., Plan probes read Claude/Cursor auth tokens to query their respective provider usage APIs.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no npm lifecycle hooks., Agent files are installed by user-invoked CLI init/update paths, not at package installation., Provider tokens are used for provider usage endpoints; no source path sends those tokens to FlyDocs., No destructive or covert install-time behavior found.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @flydocs/cli@1.2.11.

- Review the evidence and your use of @flydocs/cli@1.2.11 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.
