Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## 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:** 1.12.1 - **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 project-wide agent instruction write occurs only through the explicit setup command and matches the package’s stated workflow-enforcement purpose. Because it changes broader agent instructions, classify it as a warning-level agent capability risk. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-29T11:32:08.397Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-29T11:32:40.613Z - **Download time:** 520 ms - **Static scan time:** 385 ms - **AI review time:** 31310 ms - **Total time:** 32216 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 explicit setup command can add project-wide agent instructions and register the package with OpenCode. - **Trigger:** A user runs the package's setup command. - **Impact:** The generated instructions can shape later agent behavior across the project. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/setup-stack.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-29T11:32:40.613Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** It creates AGENTS.md in the target project if absent, with mandatory workflow directions for coding agents. - **Rationale:** The project-wide agent instruction write occurs only through the explicit setup command and matches the package’s stated workflow-enforcement purpose. Because it changes broader agent instructions, classify it as a warning-level agent capability risk. - **Files touched:** AGENTS.md, opencode.json - **Network endpoints:** github.com, opencode.ai ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The explicit setup command writes a project-root AGENTS.md when one is absent., The generated AGENTS.md directs coding agents to use this package’s mandatory workflow tools. - **Evidence against:** The postinstall hook creates only a .state/workflow-state.json file in the invoking project., The AGENTS.md write is performed by the separately named setup command, not by the postinstall hook. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @programinglive/dev-workflow-mcp-server@1.12.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @programinglive/dev-workflow-mcp-server@1.12.1 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.
