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:** 1.23.0 - **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The setup command is clearly documented and user-invoked, but it changes global OpenCode configuration and installs additional integrations beyond this MCP server. That broader agent configuration capability warrants a warning; the lifecycle hooks and monitor behavior reviewed do not show an automatic attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-03T00:26:45.805Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-03T00:28:35.891Z - **Download time:** 769 ms - **Static scan time:** 1310 ms - **AI review time:** 108004 ms - **Total time:** 110086 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 documented setup command changes global OpenCode configuration to register this MCP server and the separate Superpowers and RTK integrations. - **Trigger:** Explicitly running node scripts/setup-stack.js or npm run setup. - **Impact:** The added integrations can affect OpenCode sessions beyond this package's own MCP server. - **Evidence paths:** scripts/setup-stack.js, README.md, package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-03T00:28:35.891Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The script invokes OpenCode plugin and MCP commands or edits opencode.json directly, then runs RTK's global OpenCode setup when available. - **Rationale:** The setup command is clearly documented and user-invoked, but it changes global OpenCode configuration and installs additional integrations beyond this MCP server. That broader agent configuration capability warrants a warning; the lifecycle hooks and monitor behavior reviewed do not show an automatic attack. - **Files touched:** opencode.json, plugins/, AGENTS.md - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/obra/superpowers.git ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The setup command registers the Superpowers plugin and this MCP server globally in OpenCode., The setup command can also register RTK globally for OpenCode., The README documents this stack setup and directs users to invoke it explicitly. - **Evidence against:** The setup script runs only when directly invoked; it is not an install lifecycle script., The runtime monitor sends data only when DEVWF\_MONITOR\_URL is configured., The postinstall hook creates a local workflow state file; no network contact was identified in it. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @programinglive/dev-workflow-mcp-server@1.23.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @programinglive/dev-workflow-mcp-server@1.23.0 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.
