Installation prints CI guidance and writes a single GitHub Actions workflow only after an explicit package/environment opt-in; cloud transmission occurs only through the explicit upload command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-18T01:36:31.038Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-18T01:37:43.022Z - **Download time:** 772 ms - **Static scan time:** 1617 ms - **AI review time:** 69593 ms - **Total time:** 71984 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack chain. Installation prints CI guidance and writes a single GitHub Actions workflow only after an explicit package/environment opt-in; cloud transmission occurs only through the explicit upload command. - **Trigger:** npm install with explicit autoSetupCi=true, or user invocation of cloud upload/scan - **Impact:** May create .github/workflows/mcp-observatory.yml on opt-in; user-selected artifact can be uploaded. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/src/cli.js, dist/src/discovery.js, dist/src/auth.js, dist/src/commercial.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-18T01:37:43.022Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** opt-in CI setup and user-invoked MCP scanning/cloud artifact upload - **Rationale:** The flagged lifecycle behavior is explicit opt-in CI generation with no-overwrite writes, not unconsented broad agent-control mutation. Network and credential-related behavior is attached to user-invoked scanning, login, and artifact-upload features; no covert exfiltration or staged execution was found. - **Files touched:** .github/workflows/mcp-observatory.yml, ~/.mcp-observatory/auth.json - **Network endpoints:** https://app.mcp-observatory.com/api/v1/artifacts ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall can create .github/workflows/mcp-observatory.yml., CLI cloud upload POSTs a user-selected local run artifact., CLI scanning reads configured MCP targets, including configured auth tokens/env. - **Evidence against:** Workflow creation requires explicit autoSetupCi=true or an opt-in environment variable and uses no-overwrite mode., Cloud upload is an explicit cloud upload command with a visible artifact path and bearer token., No install-time network, credential exfiltration, payload download, eval, or hidden agent-config mutation was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
