Installation creates a project CI workflow only when explicitly opted in; cloud upload is an explicit CLI action. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-18T01:45:30.704Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-18T01:46:17.310Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 1472 ms - **AI review time:** 44622 ms - **Total time:** 46606 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface. Installation creates a project CI workflow only when explicitly opted in; cloud upload is an explicit CLI action. - **Trigger:** Opt-in postinstall configuration or the explicit \`cloud upload\` CLI command. - **Impact:** May create \`.github/workflows/mcp-observatory.yml\` after explicit opt-in or upload a selected run artifact to the vendor endpoint. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/src/index.js, dist/src/cli.js, dist/src/auth.js, dist/src/command-events.js, dist/src/discovery.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-18T01:46:17.310Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** configured CI workflow creation and authenticated artifact upload - **Rationale:** The flagged primitives implement an MCP security CLI: configuration discovery and target execution are user-invoked, and the only install-time project mutation is explicitly opt-in. No unconsented agent-control modification, credential harvesting, stealth persistence, or unsolicited exfiltration was found. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, .github/workflows/mcp-observatory.yml, ~/.mcp-observatory/auth.json - **Network endpoints:** https://app.mcp-observatory.com/api/v1/artifacts ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Install hook can create a GitHub Actions workflow in the consuming project., That write is gated by an explicit package configuration or opt-in environment flag., Cloud upload POSTs a locally selected run artifact only through the explicit cloud upload command. - **Evidence against:** Default postinstall path only logs guidance; it does not create the workflow., No import-time execution is present in the library entrypoint; it only re-exports modules., Command-event recording is explicitly local-only and a no-op. ## Public findings ### 1.
