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. The package does not activate agent hooks during an ordinary install, but its enabled runtime harvester sends session prompts and conclusions remotely by default when an API key is available. This is a real conditional disclosure risk, so warn rather than block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-14T07:36:53.595Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-14T07:41:58.164Z - **Download time:** 1040 ms - **Static scan time:** 9088 ms - **AI review time:** 294436 ms - **Total time:** 304569 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:** A session-data disclosure path is available when the package’s agent hooks are installed and harvesting is enabled. The remote path can send prompts and assistant conclusions to Anthropic. - **Trigger:** An edited agent session reaches its Stop hook while remote harvesting is enabled by an available API key and the user has not opted out. - **Impact:** Session information can leave the machine without a separate affirmative opt-in to remote harvesting; the code provides an opt-out setting. - **Evidence paths:** hooks-core/stop-harvest.mjs, hooks-core/harvest.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-14T07:41:58.164Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook passes the transcript to a worker that builds a digest and posts it to the configured model endpoint. The digest includes prompts, conclusions, paths, and commands, but omits tool results and file contents. - **Rationale:** The package does not activate agent hooks during an ordinary install, but its enabled runtime harvester sends session prompts and conclusions remotely by default when an API key is available. This is a real conditional disclosure risk, so warn rather than block. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.cjs, hooks-core/stop-harvest.mjs, hooks-core/harvest.mjs - **Network endpoints:** https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The postinstall hook is declared in the manifest, but it installs hooks only when the auto-install environment flag is set; a normal global install reports that nothing changed and directs the user to run the installer., The Stop hook starts harvesting only after session edits and a debounce check, then passes the transcript to a detached worker., Harvesting uses an existing API key for remote mode unless the user opts out; the default remote endpoint is Anthropic’s Messages API., The digest can include user prompts, assistant conclusions, file paths, and commands, while tool results are skipped., The harvester sends the digest in a network request to its configured endpoint and attaches the matching API credential when present., Other inspected integration locations concern client hook destinations, settings or configuration lookup, plugin diagnosis, uninstall gating, and an API fetch helper; they did not establish a separate authenticated account action. - **Evidence against:** The package does not install agent hooks on an ordinary package install; automatic setup requires an explicit environment flag., The harvest can be disabled with its opt-out setting, and the inspected digest omits tool results and file contents. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ooples/token-optimizer-mcp@7.5.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @ooples/token-optimizer-mcp@7.5.0 before allowing it.
