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

AI Security Review

scanned 12d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The inspected behavior is consistent with Graphify runtime setup and session-scoped MCP integration; no concrete attack was established. Required clean citation coverage cannot be completed within the citation limit, so the unresolved package review remains manual.

Static reason

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

Trigger

Installing the npm package triggers runtime provisioning; starting a pi-based session with MCP servers triggers temporary configuration setup.

Impact

These behaviors add an external runtime during installation and expose supplied MCP servers to the pi session. The inspected sources do not establish an attack or credential theft.

Mechanism

The postinstall hook invokes Python and pip to install Graphify into Jait’s runtime directory. The pi provider creates a session-scoped configuration and wrapper, then passes the wrapper to pi.

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 72.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

AI review observations

The install hook imports the packaged Graphify manager and provisions its runtime automatically.
The manager installs a pinned Graphify package into Jait’s runtime directory using Python pip.
When a pi-based provider has MCP servers, Jait creates a session-scoped MCP config and wrapper; the provider caller supplies that wrapper to pi.
The pi provisioning code describes keeping session URLs out of global and project configuration.

Evidence against

The MCP configuration is limited to pi-based sessions with supplied MCP servers and is cleaned up with the session.
The inspected web search code uses configured API keys for search requests and validates its endpoint before sending them.
