## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 18 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:** 1.23.8
- **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 hooks have limited, local purposes: postinstall initializes workflow state, and prepare conditionally installs Husky in the package’s Git checkout. The flagged dependency installation, OpenCode configuration changes, and RTK download occur only through user-run setup or bootstrap commands, and no malicious data flow or concealed behavior was found.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0%
- **Started:** 2026-11-03T02:42:10.695Z
- **Finished:** 2026-11-03T02:42:41.480Z
- **Download time:** 765 ms
- **Static scan time:** 1217 ms
- **AI review time:** 28801 ms
- **Total time:** 30785 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 is limited to local setup, while broader configuration and download actions require running setup or bootstrap.

- **Trigger:** npm install runs postinstall; the prepare script runs during applicable npm operations. Broader setup runs only when the user invokes the setup or bootstrap command.

- **Impact:** The install hook may create a local workflow state file in the invoking project. No credential collection, unrelated network contact, or other attack behavior was found.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-03T02:42:41.480Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Postinstall creates an initial .state/workflow-state.json if absent. Prepare conditionally invokes the local Husky binary in the package checkout. The explicit setup command installs dependencies and configures OpenCode; bootstrap may install RTK from its official GitHub host.

- **Rationale:** The lifecycle hooks have limited, local purposes: postinstall initializes workflow state, and prepare conditionally installs Husky in the package’s Git checkout. The flagged dependency installation, OpenCode configuration changes, and RTK download occur only through user-run setup or bootstrap commands, and no malicious data flow or concealed behavior was found.

- **Files touched:** .state/workflow-state.json, ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json, ~/.config/opencode/secrets/opencode-backup-\<timestamp\>.json, AGENTS.md

- **Network endpoints:** https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rtk-ai/rtk/refs/heads/master/install.sh

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The postinstall script creates a default workflow state file in the invoking project and skips when installed inside node\_modules; it makes no network request., The prepare script skips outside a Git checkout and runs the local Husky installer when one is present., The setup script’s dependency installation, OpenCode configuration edits, and agent setup run through the explicit setup command., The bootstrap script can download RTK’s installer from its official GitHub host when a user runs the bootstrap.

- **Evidence against:** The package declares prepare and postinstall lifecycle scripts., The setup command can install dependencies and write OpenCode configuration and an AGENTS.md file., The bootstrap script contains a download-and-run command for RTK’s official installer.
