MCP server to enforce development workflow discipline
AI Security Review
scanned 2d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe lifecycle hooks perform local workflow setup, and the flagged setup and process execution code is gated behind explicit commands. The reviewed source shows no attack behavior or unrelated data collection.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
npm install runs the local state initialization hook; explicit setup and server startup require direct invocation.
Impact
No evidence of credential collection, unrelated network contact, or concealed execution was found in the reviewed paths.
Mechanism
The install hook creates a missing workflow state file, while setup and server execution are guarded by direct-run checks.
AI rationale
The lifecycle hooks perform local workflow setup, and the flagged setup and process execution code is gated behind explicit commands. The reviewed source shows no attack behavior or unrelated data collection.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The postinstall hook creates an initial workflow state file in the invoking project; it does not transmit project data.
- The prepare hook skips Husky setup when the package checkout has no .git directory.
- The setup-stack script only starts setup when run directly, and the server only starts when index.js is run directly.
Evidence against
- The postinstall hook creates a .state directory and workflow-state.json in the invoking project when that file is absent.
