⚠ Under review

Jait AI gateway — local-first AI coding agent with terminal, filesystem, and browser control

AI Security Review

scanned 14d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The inspected postinstall behavior provisions a package-specific runtime, and the pi MCP setup is session-scoped. The required clean review could not be completed within the citation limit, with a required binary path also unresolved, so the verdict is manual review rather than a claim of maliciousness.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

npm installation triggers postinstall; pi MCP provisioning runs when a pi-based provider starts a session with MCP servers.

Impact

The inspected behavior alone does not establish malicious impact; the package verdict remains unresolved because required source coverage is incomplete.

Mechanism

The hook imports a runtime manager that can create a managed runtime and invoke Python provisioning. Session provisioning writes MCP configuration to a temporary directory and injects its path into the pi command environment.

AI rationale

Evidence

bin/install-runtime.mjsdist/services/code-graph/graphify-runtime.jsdist/providers/pi-mcp-provision.jsdist/providers/acp-provider.js

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Manual Review at 53.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

AI review observations

package.json runs bin/install-runtime.mjs during postinstall.
The hook imports and runs ensureGraphifyRuntime; when needed, it creates a runtime directory and invokes Python to provision Graphify.
Pi MCP provisioning is called when a pi-based provider starts a session, and its comment describes keeping session URLs out of global and project configuration.

Evidence against

The inspected source does not establish credential theft or unconsented mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface.
The required clean citation coverage exceeds the 16-citation limit, and a required file is binary; the remaining required findings were not resolved in this inspection.
