## 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:** 1.2.12
- **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.

No install-time execution or concealed malware chain was found. The package nevertheless deploys persistent AI-agent hooks and reads local AI-session/credential-adjacent data after explicit setup, so it warrants a non-blocking warning.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0%

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 explicit CLI setup installs project-local Claude/Cursor configuration and hooks. A Stop hook launches consent-gated AI usage collection that reads local session metadata and sends records to FlyDocs.

- **Trigger:** User runs \`flydocs init\`/update, then a configured Claude session reaches a Stop event.

- **Impact:** Configured projects can persist hooks that inspect in-scope AI session records and transmit usage metadata to the FlyDocs relay.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T21:43:02.285Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Project-local AI-agent hook installation with consent-gated usage reporting.

- **Rationale:** No install-time execution or concealed malware chain was found. The package nevertheless deploys persistent AI-agent hooks and reads local AI-session/credential-adjacent data after explicit setup, so it warrants a non-blocking warning.

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

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 93.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** \`template/.claude/settings.json\` installs Stop hooks into Claude projects., \`usage-capture.py\` detaches \`flydocs usage report\` on every agent Stop event., \`dist/cli.js\` reads in-scope Claude/Codex/Cursor session data and posts usage records to FlyDocs., \`dist/cli.js\` reads Claude OAuth credentials to query Anthropic plan usage.

- **Evidence against:** \`package.json\` has no preinstall/install/postinstall lifecycle hook., Agent files are written only by the user-invoked \`flydocs init\`/update flow., Usage reporting requires FlyDocs credentials and a consent decision; machine opt-out is supported., Observed endpoints are declared FlyDocs, PostHog, Anthropic, and provider APIs; no hidden payload fetch found.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @flydocs/cli@1.2.12.

- Review the evidence and your use of @flydocs/cli@1.2.12 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
