Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 17 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:** 16.31.0 - **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 manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed configuration changes are part of the explicit installer flow. Telemetry is opt-in and sends package-level metadata; no concrete attack behavior was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-19T13:04:16.053Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-19T13:05:19.692Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 1567 ms - **AI review time:** 61565 ms - **Total time:** 63639 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:** No attack was identified in the inspected sources. The package provides a user-invoked CLI installer that configures supported agent tools. - **Trigger:** Running the package installer command. - **Impact:** The inspected behavior supports the package's stated setup and reporting functions; no confirmed attack surface was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-19T13:05:19.692Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer copies pipeline resources and registers its companion MCP server. Optional install telemetry is gated by an affirmative environment setting. - **Rationale:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed configuration changes are part of the explicit installer flow. Telemetry is opt-in and sends package-level metadata; no concrete attack behavior was found. - **Network endpoints:** https://mmerterden.vercel.app/api/install-notify ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest lists development commands and has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The CLI installer performs configuration and skill setup when invoked; it stores repository knowledge and memory in user-level locations for those tools., Install telemetry requires MULTI\_AGENT\_TELEMETRY=1 and sends package/version, flags, platform, and Node version to the package endpoint., The installer registration code updates the companion MCP server through the selected host CLI. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @mmerterden/multi-agent-pipeline@16.31.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @mmerterden/multi-agent-pipeline@16.31.0 before allowing it.
