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 startup report includes identifying machine and project fields and captured output, then ships to the configured observability API when a token is present. This appears tied to the package's dashboard feature, but runtime telemetry carrying identifying details warrants a warning. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T17:33:54.955Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T17:34:56.189Z - **Download time:** 518 ms - **Static scan time:** 4621 ms - **AI review time:** 56094 ms - **Total time:** 61234 ms 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:** Runtime observability reports send identifying machine and project details, along with captured startup output. - **Trigger:** Running \`mx-agent start\` with an observability token configured. - **Impact:** The observability service receives machine and project identifiers and startup log entries, creating a privacy risk. - **Evidence paths:** dist/commands/start.js, dist/lib/startup-report.js, dist/lib/startup-shipper.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T17:34:56.189Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The command captures startup output, writes a report locally, then POSTs it with a bearer token to the configured observability API. - **Rationale:** The startup report includes identifying machine and project fields and captured output, then ships to the configured observability API when a token is present. This appears tied to the package's dashboard feature, but runtime telemetry carrying identifying details warrants a warning. - **Files touched:** ~/.mx-agent/logs/startup/\.jsonl, ~/.mx-agent/logs/startup/spool/\.json, ~/.mx-agent/logs/startup/events-spool/\.json - **Network endpoints:** http://localhost:3100/v1/startup-reports, \/v1/startup-reports, \/v1/events ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Startup reports include project, team, worktree, CLI version, and machine name., The start command captures output and schedules best-effort report shipping., With an observability token configured, reports are POSTed to the observability API. - **Evidence against:** Shipping is part of the CLI's stated observability and dashboard behavior, and requires an observability token., The package exposes the behavior through an explicit CLI command; the flagged agent-configuration writes occur in the explicit project setup command. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @memnexus-ai/mx-agent-cli@0.1.300. - Review the evidence and your use of @memnexus-ai/mx-agent-cli@0.1.300 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
