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:** 1.16.0 - **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 lifecycle hook creates a default local workflow state file and contains no network transmission. Agent configuration changes and the official RTK installer are part of explicit setup utilities, not hidden install-time behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T07:47:31.134Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T07:48:00.586Z - **Download time:** 778 ms - **Static scan time:** 912 ms - **AI review time:** 27760 ms - **Total time:** 29452 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-time behavior initializes local workflow state, while broader agent setup requires an explicit command. - **Trigger:** npm install runs the postinstall state initializer; OpenCode and agent configuration changes require running the setup command. - **Impact:** Local setup files may be added. No credential collection, unrelated network contact, or concealed execution was found. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T07:48:00.586Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The postinstall hook creates a default .state/workflow-state.json if absent. The separate setup utility registers the local MCP server and plugin in OpenCode configuration and may create AGENTS.md. - **Rationale:** The lifecycle hook creates a default local workflow state file and contains no network transmission. Agent configuration changes and the official RTK installer are part of explicit setup utilities, not hidden install-time behavior. - **Files touched:** \/.state/workflow-state.json, \/opencode.json, \/AGENTS.md - **Network endpoints:** raw.githubusercontent.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The postinstall hook initializes workflow state in the consuming project and skips when INIT\_CWD points inside node\_modules., The state file is created only if it does not already exist; the hook does not send project data over the network., The setup script edits OpenCode configuration and creates AGENTS.md when explicitly run, and is guarded by a direct-run check., The bootstrap script's download-and-run fallback retrieves RTK's installer from its official GitHub repository. - **Evidence against:** The package declares postinstall and prepare lifecycle scripts., The optional setup command writes OpenCode configuration and may create a project AGENTS.md file. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @programinglive/dev-workflow-mcp-server@1.16.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @programinglive/dev-workflow-mcp-server@1.16.0 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.
