## 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:** 0.14.9
- **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 malicious install-time behavior or unconsented foreign/broad control-surface mutation was found. However, automatic persistent Claude MCP setup after login is a concrete first-party agent-extension lifecycle risk and warrants a warning.

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

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:** A successful \`hookmyapp login\` automatically configures a user-scoped Claude Code MCP entry named \`hookmyapp\`. It points to the package vendor's MCP endpoint and uses a local helper to emit the logged-in authorization header.

- **Trigger:** User runs a successful HookMyApp login flow while \`claude\` is installed.

- **Impact:** Adds a persistent user-scoped AI-agent integration able to access the user's HookMyApp account through its local credential helper.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/hookmyapp.js, dist/cli.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T22:46:10.002Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Automatic first-party Claude MCP registration via the Claude CLI.

- **Rationale:** No malicious install-time behavior or unconsented foreign/broad control-surface mutation was found. However, automatic persistent Claude MCP setup after login is a concrete first-party agent-extension lifecycle risk and warrants a warning.

- **Files touched:** bin/hookmyapp.js, dist/cli.js, ~/.config/hookmyapp/config.json, ~/.config/hookmyapp/credentials.json

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.hookmyapp.com/mcp, https://api.workos.com/user\_management/authenticate, https://us.i.posthog.com, https://a90e30c1e78a573af2f5e3ea44edee6e@o4511121201627136.ingest.de.sentry.io/4511251477561424

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 95.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** dist/cli.js auto-runs Claude MCP setup after successful login., It invokes \`claude mcp add-json --scope user hookmyapp\` with an authenticated HookMyApp MCP URL., The CLI stores HookMyApp credentials under its own config directory and forwards them only to its declared API/auth endpoints.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook., The MCP setup is reachable from an explicit user login, not package installation., \`mcp install --agent claude\` is also an explicit command; cloudflared download is checksum-verified and user-command triggered., Telemetry is disclosed and opt-out; source says it excludes arguments, file contents, and environment values.

## Affected versions and remediation
