## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 8 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Manual Review
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Under Review
- **Threat category:** Unknown
- **Selected version:** 1.4.18
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **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: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The inspected source shows Datadog exporter behavior and no concrete attack. The runtime dependency dd-trace is unresolved in the supplied snapshot, so its behavior cannot be cleared from source inspection.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0%

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:** No attack was identified in the inspected package source. The unresolved dd-trace dependency leaves runtime behavior unverified.

- **Trigger:** Using the exporter initializes dd-trace and submits spans.

- **Impact:** No malicious impact is established, but the unresolved runtime dependency prevents a clean determination.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-21T11:55:08.916Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The package forwards span data to dd-trace; the supplied dependency snapshot could not be inspected to verify its behavior.

- **Rationale:** The inspected source shows Datadog exporter behavior and no concrete attack. The runtime dependency dd-trace is unresolved in the supplied snapshot, so its behavior cannot be cleared from source inspection.

- **Files touched:** package.json, dist/index.js

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 78.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** The manifest declares dd-trace as a runtime dependency, and the entrypoint imports it., Constructing the exporter initializes dd-trace, and exported spans are passed to its LLM observability API., The supplied dd-trace dependency snapshot is unresolved, so its runtime behavior could not be reviewed.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hooks, and the exporter’s Datadog initialization is consistent with its stated purpose.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @mastra/datadog@1.4.18.

- Review the evidence and your use of @mastra/datadog@1.4.18 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.

## Public findings

### 1. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

### 2. Medium: Environment Vars
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references environment variables.

### 3. High: Copied Package Dependency Bridge
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 83.0%
- **Path:** dist/index.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@mastra/datadog@1.4.18/dist/index.js>)

Package metadata claims a different repository identity while copied source loads a runtime dependency bridge.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
package = @mastra/datadog; repositoryIdentity = mastra; dependency = @mastra/observability
L2: import { omitKeys } from "@mastra/core/utils";
L3: import { BaseExporter, getExternalParentId } from "@mastra/observability";
L4: import tracer from "dd-trace";
```

### 4. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 40.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.

### 5. Low: Suspicious Dependency Evidence
- **Category:** Dependency
- **Confidence:** 78.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@mastra/datadog@1.4.18/package.json>)

The manifest declares dd-trace as a runtime dependency, and the entrypoint imports it.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
"dd-trace": "^5.117.0",
    "@mastra/observability": "1.21.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
```

### 6. Low: Suspicious Dependency Evidence
- **Category:** Dependency
- **Confidence:** 78.0%
- **Path:** dist/index.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@mastra/datadog@1.4.18/dist/index.js>)

The manifest declares dd-trace as a runtime dependency, and the entrypoint imports it.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
import tracer from "dd-trace";
import { coreFeatures } from "@mastra/core/features";
//#region src/features.ts
/**
* Feature detection for paired @mas
```

### 7. Low: Ai Review Evidence

- **Confidence:** 78.0%
- **Path:** dist/index.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@mastra/datadog@1.4.18/dist/index.js>)

Constructing the exporter initializes dd-trace, and exported spans are passed to its LLM observability API.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
function ensureTracer(config) {
	if (tracerInitFlag.done) return;
	if (config.site) process.env.DD_SITE = config.site;
	if (config.apiKey) process.env.DD_API_KEY = config.apiKey;
	if (!tracer._tracer?.started) tracer.init({
		service: config.service || config.mlApp,
		env: config.env || process.env.DD_ENV,
		plugins: config.integrationsEnabled ?? f
```

### 8. Low: Ai Review Evidence
- **Category:** Ai Review

- **Path:** dist/index.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@mastra/datadog@1.4.18/dist/index.js>)

Constructing the exporter initializes dd-trace, and exported spans are passed to its LLM observability API.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript

			const annotations = this.buildAnnotations(span);
			if (Object.keys(annotations).length > 0) tracer.llmobs.annotate(ddSpan, annotations);
			if (span.errorInfo) this.setErrorTags(ddSpan, span.errorIn
