## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 12 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Telemetry warning (can be blocked)
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Telemetry
- **Selected version:** 0.2.0-rc.8
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The package gates telemetry on a host setting and uses a same-origin endpoint, but the recorded events can include agent request text and selected document excerpts. This is a meaningful privacy risk because the source does not show a separate author consent choice for collecting that content.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%

The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** When workspace-host telemetry is enabled, agent request text and potentially selected document excerpts are included in telemetry.

- **Trigger:** Workbench startup checks the host collection setting; later, an author sends an agent request while collection is enabled.

- **Impact:** The workspace operator’s telemetry collector may retain document excerpts or request text beyond the agent interaction itself.

- **Evidence paths:** src/workbench.ts, src/telemetry.ts, src/workspace-client.ts

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T06:22:20.699Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The workbench records the composed request text and sends operation batches to the host telemetry route.

- **Rationale:** The package gates telemetry on a host setting and uses a same-origin endpoint, but the recorded events can include agent request text and selected document excerpts. This is a meaningful privacy risk because the source does not show a separate author consent choice for collecting that content.

- **Network endpoints:** /api/presmium/telemetry

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** Workbench starts operation logging automatically and checks whether the host has enabled collection., When enabled, operation batches are sent to the host’s /api/presmium/telemetry endpoint., After an agent request is sent, the workbench records the request text as telemetry., A focused document quote can be included in the context used to compose an agent request.

- **Evidence against:** Collection is gated by the host’s enabled setting, and failed reads disable it., The telemetry endpoint is a relative, same-origin workspace route; no unrelated collector is shown., The flagged transcription component handles local drafts and user-reviewed adoption actions.
