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. LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. The user-invoked CLI initializer writes persistent agent instructions and skill files for several coding-agent ecosystems. It also uses the configured Granular API credential for service requests. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-12T20:33:47.886Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-12T20:34:53.242Z - **Download time:** 508 ms - **Static scan time:** 12396 ms - **AI review time:** 52450 ms - **Total time:** 65356 ms 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 initializer writes persistent agent instructions and skill files for several coding-agent ecosystems. It also uses the configured Granular API credential for service requests. - **Trigger:** Running granular init in a project. - **Impact:** Project-local AI agent behavior can be influenced by generated vendor instructions; the configured Granular credential is transmitted to the configured service. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-12T20:34:53.242Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Cross-platform agent configuration generation and authenticated API requests. - **Rationale:** The package has no registry install lifecycle hook, but its explicit initializer persistently configures several AI-agent control surfaces. The behavior is user-invoked and vendor-aligned, so it warrants a warning rather than a publish block. - **Files touched:** .agents/openai.yaml, .agents/skills/\/SKILL.md, .cursor/rules/\.mdc, .claude/skills/\/SKILL.md, CLAUDE.md, README.md, .env.local - **Network endpoints:** cf-api-gateway.arthur6084.workers.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The explicit granular init command creates and updates configuration for multiple AI coding-agent platforms., The generated agent setup writes OpenAI-style, Cursor, and Claude skill files in the consumer project., The CLI reads a Granular API key from project environment files and sends it as a bearer credential to its configured API. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; prepublishOnly is publisher-time only., The agent-file writes occur through the user-invoked init command, not on package installation or import., Cursor hooks are gated by an explicit command option. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @granular-software/sdk@0.4.70. - Review the evidence and your use of @granular-software/sdk@0.4.70 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
