⚠ Under review

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

AI Security Review

scanned 9d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Source inspection confirms that postinstall installs a pinned external Python package, but its source is unavailable here for review. The evidence does not establish malicious behavior, so the unresolved dependency warrants manual review.

Static reason

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

Trigger

npm runs the package's postinstall hook.

Impact

The fetched package's install-time behavior cannot be assessed from the available source.

Mechanism

The hook invokes a runtime manager that creates a virtual environment and runs pip to install a pinned package.

AI rationale

Evidence

package.jsonbin/install-runtime.mjsdist/services/code-graph/graphify-runtime.js

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Manual Review at 78.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

AI review observations

The manifest runs bin/install-runtime.mjs from postinstall.
That hook calls ensureGraphifyRuntime; its setup runs pip to install graphifyy version 0.9.30 in a managed virtual environment.
The installed Python package is outside this snapshot, so its installation behavior could not be resolved from inspected source.
The pi integration passes Jait MCP servers through a temporary, per-session config and wrapper.

Evidence against

The pi integration is limited to session startup and the inspected code says it avoids changing global or project pi configuration.
