Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 17 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed. - **Verdict:** Clean - **Product-default install policy:** Allow - **Firewall policy:** No policy match - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** None published - **Selected version:** 1.13.16 - **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The install hook creates a local workflow state file, while broader agent configuration changes occur through an explicitly invoked setup command. The reviewed server startup showed no automatic credential collection or unrelated network activity. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T01:57:32.858Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T01:57:55.415Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 634 ms - **AI review time:** 21411 ms - **Total time:** 22557 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 identified; reviewed lifecycle behavior, server startup, and setup configuration writes are consistent with the package’s workflow-server purpose. - **Trigger:** npm lifecycle hooks create local workflow state; broader agent-stack setup runs only when the user invokes the setup command. - **Impact:** No automatic credential collection, unrelated network contact, or unauthorized account action was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T01:57:55.415Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The postinstall hook initializes a project state file. Explicit setup registers the MCP server and related tools in OpenCode and creates AGENTS.md only if absent. - **Rationale:** The install hook creates a local workflow state file, while broader agent configuration changes occur through an explicitly invoked setup command. The reviewed server startup showed no automatic credential collection or unrelated network activity. - **Files touched:** .state/workflow-state.json, opencode.json, AGENTS.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package entry point is index.js; its server initialization runs only when directly launched., The postinstall script creates a project-local .state/workflow-state.json file and skips this when installed inside node\_modules., The broader OpenCode and AGENTS.md setup is performed by the explicit setup command. - **Evidence against:** The package declares prepare and postinstall lifecycle scripts., The explicit setup command can modify OpenCode configuration and add an AGENTS.md file to the target project. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @programinglive/dev-workflow-mcp-server@1.13.16. - Review the evidence and your use of @programinglive/dev-workflow-mcp-server@1.13.16 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.
