MCP server to enforce development workflow discipline
AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe install hooks perform package-related initialization and skip Husky setup outside a Git checkout. Runtime monitoring is off unless configured, and the reviewed startup path does not reveal automatic credential collection or unrelated network activity.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
npm install runs the state initializer; the separate setup command and optional monitor require user configuration or invocation.
Impact
The reviewed behavior creates project state and, when configured, reports workflow metadata. No credential theft or unrelated automatic execution was identified.
Mechanism
The install hook creates local workflow state, while the opt-in monitor sends workflow metadata to the configured URL. Setup registers the server and related tools in OpenCode.
AI rationale
The install hooks perform package-related initialization and skip Husky setup outside a Git checkout. Runtime monitoring is off unless configured, and the reviewed startup path does not reveal automatic credential collection or unrelated network activity.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 88.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The postinstall hook creates a workflow state file under the install project and skips creation when running inside node_modules.
- The prepare hook skips Husky setup outside a Git checkout; inside one, it runs the project’s Husky binary.
- Monitor reporting is disabled unless DEVWF_MONITOR_URL is set, and its payload contains workflow metadata rather than file contents.
- The setup-stack configuration changes run only when that script is invoked directly.
- The update-check script says it does not check the network automatically during MCP operation.
Evidence against
- When enabled, monitor reporting can send the machine name, project path, task description, and workflow plan to the configured URL.
- The explicit setup command can install dependencies and modify OpenCode configuration and AGENTS.md.
