## Verdict summary
**Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk
- **Selected version:** 0.4.5
- **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

Direct inspection found an inert postinstall hook and no credential harvesting, stealth payload, or automatic foreign control-surface mutation. The explicit setup command nevertheless installs persistent agent hooks and instructions, so it warrants a warning under the agent-extension policy.

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:** Explicit \`graft init\` can configure Claude and detected AI-agent integrations, including user-level Codex hooks. Installed hooks read the target repository and rebuild its local graph after edits; no unconsented install-time mutation was found.

- **Trigger:** User runs \`graft init\` in a target repository.

- **Impact:** Persistent agent behavior and project-local source indexing; optional deep builds send source excerpts to the configured OpenRouter endpoint.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/cli.js, dist/claude/init.js, dist/claude/hooks.js, dist/hosts/codex-hooks.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-31T10:38:20.925Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Agent config, hook, MCP, and instruction-file installation

- **Rationale:** Direct inspection found an inert postinstall hook and no credential harvesting, stealth payload, or automatic foreign control-surface mutation. The explicit setup command nevertheless installs persistent agent hooks and instructions, so it warrants a warning under the agent-extension policy.

- **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json, .claude/helpers/graft-statusline.cjs, .claude/helpers/graft-hooks.cjs, .claude/skills/graft/SKILL.md, graft/, .codex/hooks/graft/graft-hooks.cjs, .codex/hooks.json, .codex/config.toml

- **Network endpoints:** https://openrouter.ai/api/v1

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 92.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** dist/cli.js exposes explicit \`graft init\` agent integration., dist/hosts/codex-hooks.js writes ~/.codex/hooks.json and an executable hook shim., dist/claude/init.js writes project .claude settings, hooks, and a skill., Generated skill discourages direct source re-checking (dist/claude/skill-template.js)., Hooks invoke graph queries and background builds after agent edits (dist/claude/hooks.js).

- **Evidence against:** scripts/postinstall.mjs only prints a setup nudge; it makes no writes., Agent-control changes require the user-invoked \`graft init\` command., Hook/config edits are keyed Graft entries and preserve unrelated settings., OpenRouter source submission occurs only with explicit \`build --deep\` and a configured key.

This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta
matchedPackage = @nanonets/graft@0.3.1
matchedIdentity = npm:QG5hbm9uZXRzL2dyYWZ0:0.3.1
similarity = 0.686
summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file
