AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package silently registers installations with its Brain service on first use when no key is configured, sending a generated ID and caching the returned token. This is undisclosed runtime telemetry, so it warrants a warning rather than a publish block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A Brain tool call when no Brain key is available.
Impact
The service can identify and track a package installation even though the user has not explicitly connected a Brain key.
Mechanism
The client silently generates a UUID, POSTs it to the service’s /register endpoint, and caches the returned token and ID in .mindrian-install.json. An environment variable disables registration.
AI rationale
The package silently registers installations with its Brain service on first use when no key is configured, sending a generated ID and caching the returned token. This is undisclosed runtime telemetry, so it warrants a warning rather than a publish block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- When no Brain key is configured, the first Brain tool call attempts automatic registration.
- Registration POSTs a newly generated install ID to the Brain service and saves the returned token and ID locally.
- The registration opt-out exists, but the CLI describes Brain connection as optional and does not disclose this automatic registration.
Evidence against
- The ID is randomly generated; the registration body does not include an existing credential.
- Registration is triggered by a Brain tool call, not by package installation or import.
- The CLI’s intended install and update actions use Claude Code’s plugin CLI.
