## Verdict summary
**Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse
- **Selected version:** 1.3.13
- **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 agent configuration tool with credentialed network behavior and remote artifact writes. It should be warned as a dangerous capability, not blocked as malware, because no npm install hook or concrete malicious behavior was found.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0%

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:** Running the FlyDocs setup commands can install agent configuration, hooks, and remote workspace artifacts into the selected project. The installed session hook can use a configured FlyDocs credential to check the service.

- **Trigger:** A user runs the FlyDocs initializer or update workflow, then starts an enabled Claude session.

- **Impact:** The package can grant its own agent commands permission and place service-controlled files in the project; this is a meaningful agent-control capability but is not install-time behavior.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli.js, template/.claude/settings.json, template/.claude/hooks/session-start.py

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-28T21:58:49.885Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Explicit agent extension setup with credentialed relay access and remote artifact synchronization.

- **Rationale:** This is an explicit user-command agent configuration tool with credentialed network behavior and remote artifact writes. It should be warned as a dangerous capability, not blocked as malware, because no npm install hook or concrete malicious behavior was found.

- **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json, .claude/hooks/auto-approve.py, .claude/hooks/session-start.py, .claude/skills, .cursor/commands, .cursor/rules, .flydocs/credentials, ~/.flydocs/credentials

- **Network endpoints:** https://app.flydocs.ai/api/relay

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 87.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The user-invoked initializer creates Claude and Cursor agent directories in the target project., The bundled Claude settings pre-approve FlyDocs commands and register hooks that run project-local Python., A session-start hook reads a FlyDocs API key and sends it as a bearer token to the FlyDocs relay., Cloud artifact sync writes server-provided content into the project after path validation.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook; the executable is a user-run CLI., The credential request uses the FlyDocs relay endpoint named by the product and is limited to configured cloud projects., Artifact writes reject protected paths and resolve paths under the selected project root.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @flydocs/cli@1.3.13.

- Review the evidence and your use of @flydocs/cli@1.3.13 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.
