## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 16 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 0.2.164
- **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The inspected source shows package-aligned deployment and companion operations without a concrete malicious chain. The flagged agent integration is a read-only drift check, and gateway credentials are freshly generated rather than copied from an existing service session.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-30T04:47:44.610Z

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:** No confirmed attack was identified. Inspected behavior supports deployment management, skill drift checking, and package-owned companion installation.

- **Trigger:** Users invoke CLI commands; npm installation has no automatic install lifecycle hook.

- **Impact:** No malicious agent control mutation or credential exfiltration was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-30T04:49:37.938Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The agent integration reads skill sidecars, while gateway provisioning uses a newly generated bearer and authenticates Azure requests to Azure.

- **Rationale:** The inspected source shows package-aligned deployment and companion operations without a concrete malicious chain. The flagged agent integration is a read-only drift check, and gateway credentials are freshly generated rather than copied from an existing service session.

- **Network endpoints:** https://management.azure.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json defines no registry install lifecycle hooks or runtime self-dependency., The indicated agent integration locates m8t-architect skill metadata and reads it for a drift check; it does not modify agent configuration., Gateway setup generates a fresh bearer rather than forwarding an existing service session credential., Azure authentication is sent to management.azure.com when provisioning the gateway connection., Companion installation runs through a CLI command and checks package-owned destination boundaries.

## Affected versions and remediation
