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. This is user-invoked first-party agent setup that changes Amp control configuration, warranting a warning under the package review policy. No concrete attack or install-time mutation was established. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-11T04:27:18.378Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-11T04:27:35.715Z - **Download time:** 757 ms - **Static scan time:** 106 ms - **AI review time:** 16472 ms - **Total time:** 17337 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:** The setup CLI changes Amp's global tool permissions and adds a project plugin loader. - **Trigger:** A user invokes the package's setup CLI without --print or --uninstall. - **Impact:** This configures a first-party agent integration that participates in tool authorization and session auditing; source inspection did not establish an attack. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli/setup.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T04:27:35.715Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** It registers the Ory delegate for all tools in Amp settings and writes a loader under the project plugin directory. - **Rationale:** This is user-invoked first-party agent setup that changes Amp control configuration, warranting a warning under the package review policy. No concrete attack or install-time mutation was established. - **Files touched:** ~/.config/amp/settings.json, .amp/plugins/ory.ts ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json exposes setup as a CLI binary and has no install lifecycle hook., The setup command adds a delegate for every Amp tool and writes an in-process plugin loader., The configuration change runs from the setup CLI after argument parsing; it is not triggered by package installation. - **Evidence against:** The package manifest contains no preinstall, install, or postinstall script., Setup supports an uninstall path that removes the Ory entries and plugin. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ory/amp@1.3.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @ory/amp@1.3.1 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
