Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The install hooks perform limited setup for the package's workflow purpose, and the more extensive agent configuration changes require an explicit setup command. The reviewed source does not show an attack chain or unrelated data collection. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T01:39:43.369Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T01:40:10.350Z - **Download time:** 518 ms - **Static scan time:** 665 ms - **AI review time:** 25796 ms - **Total time:** 26981 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:** No attack was identified. Install hooks create workflow state or set up Husky in a Git checkout; broader agent setup is explicitly invoked. - **Trigger:** npm install for workflow-state creation; direct invocation of scripts/setup-stack.js for agent-stack setup. - **Impact:** Expected workflow setup and state tracking; no source evidence of credential collection, unrelated data transfer, or hidden agent control changes. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T01:40:10.350Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The postinstall hook creates .state/workflow-state.json if absent. The explicit setup script updates OpenCode configuration and may create AGENTS.md. - **Rationale:** The install hooks perform limited setup for the package's workflow purpose, and the more extensive agent configuration changes require an explicit setup command. The reviewed source does not show an attack chain or unrelated data collection. - **Files touched:** .state/workflow-state.json, opencode.json, AGENTS.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package has prepare and postinstall scripts, whose behavior was reviewed., The postinstall hook creates a workflow state file in the installer's project; it skips when INIT\_CWD points inside node\_modules and preserves an existing state file., The prepare script skips Husky setup outside a Git checkout., The changed commit handler checks that Git is operating in the requested repository before proceeding., The agent-stack setup runs only when its script is invoked directly. - **Evidence against:** The package performs install-time filesystem writes, but the reviewed write is limited to workflow state for the package's stated purpose., The explicit setup command can modify OpenCode configuration and create AGENTS.md; this is user-invoked setup behavior. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @programinglive/dev-workflow-mcp-server@1.13.14. - Review the evidence and your use of @programinglive/dev-workflow-mcp-server@1.13.14 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.
