## Verdict summary
**Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse
- **Selected version:** 0.7.41
- **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.

Source inspection contradicts the scanner’s install-time/exfiltration interpretation, but confirms explicit agent-extension setup and telemetry. This warrants warning rather than a malicious block.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-08-03T13:53:54.789Z
- **Finished:** 2026-08-03T13:54:47.464Z
- **Download time:** 1020 ms
- **Static scan time:** 4094 ms
- **AI review time:** 47560 ms
- **Total time:** 52675 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:** Explicit MCP init/setup actions can add PAPI to agent configuration and enable its project-local hook/permission. Runtime telemetry sends PAPI usage metadata when enabled and configured.

- **Trigger:** User or MCP-client invocation of init/setup; runtime tool calls with PAPI telemetry enabled.

- **Impact:** Adds a PAPI MCP server/permission or hook to selected agent configuration; sends configured usage metadata.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js, README.md

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-03T13:54:47.464Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** explicit agent-config mutation, project-local hook registration, and telemetry POSTs

- **Rationale:** Source inspection contradicts the scanner’s install-time/exfiltration interpretation, but confirms explicit agent-extension setup and telemetry. This warrants warning rather than a malicious block.

- **Files touched:** .mcp.json, .claude/settings.json, .claude/hooks/frontend-design-guard.sh, ~/.codex/config.toml

- **Network endpoints:** https://guewgygcpcmrcoppihzx.supabase.co/functions/v1/data-proxy, https://getpapi.ai

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** dist/index.js: init tool can write ~/.codex/config.toml and other MCP configs., dist/index.js: setup writes project .claude/settings.json, grants mcp\_\_papi\_\_\*, and registers a PreToolUse shell hook., dist/index.js: telemetry posts tool metadata to hosted PAPI endpoints when configured.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., Config and hook changes are reached through named init/setup tools, not installation., Telemetry payload is limited to identifiers, tool/event names, and metadata; README discloses it., No source evidence of credential harvesting, remote payload execution, or destructive install-time behavior.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @papi-ai/server@0.7.41.

- Review the evidence and your use of @papi-ai/server@0.7.41 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.
