⚠ Under review

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

AI Security Review

scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The inspected lifecycle behavior is consistent with provisioning a declared product runtime, and the flagged API-key flow uses provider search requests. A clean verdict requires citations across more distinct source paths than the output limit permits, so this review remains unresolved without independent evidence supporting a warning or block.

Static reason

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

Trigger

npm install runs the declared postinstall hook.

Impact

The inspected setup adds a product runtime; these excerpts do not establish credential disclosure, unrelated configuration changes, or a malicious payload.

Mechanism

The hook imports the runtime manager, which can create a Python virtual environment and install a pinned Graphify package if the runtime is missing.

AI rationale

Evidence

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

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Manual Review at 62.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

AI review observations

The npm postinstall hook runs the package's Graphify runtime installer.
The installer invokes runtime provisioning, which creates a managed Python environment and installs a pinned Graphify package when one is not already ready.
Pi MCP setup writes a per-session config and injects it into the pi process command.
The browser search tool uses configured API keys with the selected provider's search endpoint.

Evidence against

The Graphify install is a declared product runtime setup in a Jait state directory; inspected code does not establish credential collection or unrelated project mutation.
The cited pi configuration is session-scoped, and the inspected browser code uses provider API keys for search requests.
