## 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:** 17.0.0
- **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.

Source inspection found no npm install lifecycle hook or concrete attack behavior. The installer runs through an explicit CLI action, and install telemetry is gated by an affirmative opt-in.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-19T13:05:07.776Z

- **Total time:** 51687 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 concrete attack surface was identified in the inspected source. Installation and host configuration changes are initiated by the CLI install flow, and telemetry requires an explicit environment opt-in.

- **Trigger:** A user invokes the install command; telemetry is sent only when MULTI\_AGENT\_TELEMETRY is set to 1.

- **Impact:** No unconsented credential transfer, harmful account action, or install-time control-surface mutation was identified.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-19T13:05:59.463Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The installer configures selected agent CLIs and registers the package’s companion MCP server. Opt-in telemetry sends package and runtime metadata to the package endpoint.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found no npm install lifecycle hook or concrete attack behavior. The installer runs through an explicit CLI action, and install telemetry is gated by an affirmative opt-in.

- **Files touched:** package.json, index.js, install.js, install/index.mjs, install/\_mcp-register.mjs, install/\_telemetry.mjs, install/\_plugin-skills.mjs, install/claude.mjs, install/codex.mjs, pipeline/scripts/doctor.mjs, pipeline/scripts/graph-build.mjs, pipeline/scripts/learn-from-transcripts.mjs, pipeline/scripts/learnings-ledger.mjs, pipeline/scripts/triage-memory.mjs

- **Network endpoints:** https://mmerterden.vercel.app/api/install-notify, https://registry.npmjs.org

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json defines a CLI entrypoint and no install lifecycle hook., The installer is invoked through the explicit install command and sets up the selected host tools., Install telemetry returns unless MULTI\_AGENT\_TELEMETRY is set to 1; its payload contains package, version, flags, platform, and Node version., The inspected runtime locations concern project graph/transcript processing and package-owned learning state; no concrete attack behavior was identified.
