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 scanner’s flags resolve to explicit installer behavior, opt-in telemetry and local task utilities in the inspected source. The package manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and no concrete attack behavior was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-19T13:05:26.338Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-19T13:06:38.546Z - **Download time:** 1017 ms - **Static scan time:** 1494 ms - **AI review time:** 69696 ms - **Total time:** 72208 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 source. The reviewed network and agent integration behavior is gated or tied to explicit installation and expected package functions. - **Trigger:** The installer runs after a user invokes the package’s install command; telemetry additionally requires an explicit environment opt-in. - **Impact:** No concrete unauthorized credential transfer, destructive action, persistence or agent control abuse was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-19T13:06:38.546Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer configures selected agent tools and registers the companion toolkit. Optional telemetry sends package and runtime metadata to the package domain. - **Rationale:** The scanner’s flags resolve to explicit installer behavior, opt-in telemetry and local task utilities in the inspected source. The package manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and no concrete attack behavior was found. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest defines a CLI entry point and no npm lifecycle hooks; installation is dispatched by the explicit install command., Installer integrations register the package’s companion toolkit and write to the selected host’s configuration as part of installation., Install telemetry is gated by an explicit environment opt-in and sends package and runtime metadata to the package’s domain., The Claude setup installs local hooks for staged-secret checks and narrowly scoped commit and push safeguards; the guard does not execute the supplied command or use the network., Flagged runtime utilities perform task-related local work: the doctor prints a manual reinstall instruction, citation verification validates repository paths, and graph building reads Git metadata., The cited agent, installer and pipeline paths show integration and utility behavior consistent with the package’s described workflow; no concrete attack behavior was identified. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @mmerterden/multi-agent-pipeline@17.5.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @mmerterden/multi-agent-pipeline@17.5.1 before allowing it.
