## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 15 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Telemetry warning (can be blocked)
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Telemetry
- **Selected version:** 0.7.108
- **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.

The package sends runtime usage telemetry by default and has no disclosure located in its README, so it warrants a warning under the telemetry rule. The scanner’s credential-redirection claim is not borne out by the statusline code, which sends a configured PAPI bearer to the configured endpoint.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0%
- **Started:** 2026-11-01T08:39:09.738Z
- **Finished:** 2026-11-01T08:40:20.464Z
- **Download time:** 1019 ms
- **Static scan time:** 6219 ms
- **AI review time:** 63487 ms
- **Total time:** 70726 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:** Undisclosed, default-on runtime usage telemetry; no credential exfiltration or other attack was identified.

- **Trigger:** MCP tool calls and successful setup, plan, or release actions in a running server.

- **Impact:** The package operator can associate tool usage and timing with a PAPI project. The reviewed telemetry payload does not include prompts, code, or command output.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T08:40:20.464Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Sends tool and milestone events with project ID and limited usage metadata to the PAPI data-proxy telemetry endpoint. PAPI\_TELEMETRY=false or off disables it.

- **Rationale:** The package sends runtime usage telemetry by default and has no disclosure located in its README, so it warrants a warning under the telemetry rule. The scanner’s credential-redirection claim is not borne out by the statusline code, which sends a configured PAPI bearer to the configured endpoint.

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.getpapi.ai/functions/v1/data-proxy/telemetry

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 86.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** Runtime telemetry is enabled unless PAPI\_TELEMETRY is set to false or off., On MCP tool calls, telemetry includes the project ID, tool name, event type, duration, and adapter type; it does not include tool arguments in this call path., Hosted telemetry uses the package’s api.getpapi.ai data-proxy endpoint and posts to its /telemetry route.

- **Evidence against:** The statusline reads a PAPI bearer from configuration and sends it to the configured endpoint’s /peek route; the reviewed code does not redirect an Anthropic credential to a fixed foreign host., The telemetry inspected is usage metadata sent to the package’s own service, not prompts, code, command output, or credentials beyond the PAPI key used for authentication.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @papi-ai/server@0.7.108.

- Review the evidence and your use of @papi-ai/server@0.7.108 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.
