## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 12 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 8.0.0
- **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

Source inspection found an install-time local ID file consistent with the package's watermarking function, with no observed exfiltration or attack behavior. The scanner's obfuscation and network hints do not establish malicious behavior.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-10T22:35:38.086Z

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:** No attack was identified. Installation creates or reuses a local install ID, while the inspected fetch code concerns page retrieval and same-origin links.

- **Trigger:** Package installation runs the postinstall hook; page-fetch behavior is invoked by the application.

- **Impact:** A local identifier file is created; no harmful effect was established from the inspected source.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-10T22:36:14.818Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The hook reads or writes a small key file in the user's home directory. The inspected source showed no network transmission of that ID.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found an install-time local ID file consistent with the package's watermarking function, with no observed exfiltration or attack behavior. The scanner's obfuscation and network hints do not establish malicious behavior.

- **Files touched:** ~/.gt-mcp-install.key

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json runs postinstall.mjs during installation., postinstall.mjs creates or reuses a small local install ID in the user's home directory and does not send it over the network., The required deep-fetch-pages.js source imports fetch helpers and handles same-origin page links; inspected code did not establish an attack.

## Affected versions and remediation
