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. Source inspection found no malicious behavior. The lifecycle hooks initialize local workflow state or conditionally set up Git hooks; OpenCode configuration changes are reachable through the explicit setup command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-25T09:58:39.244Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-25T10:00:36.892Z - **Download time:** 777 ms - **Static scan time:** 292 ms - **AI review time:** 116578 ms - **Total time:** 117648 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 in the inspected source. Agent configuration changes are part of the explicit setup command, while installation initializes local workflow state. - **Trigger:** Installing the package runs its declared lifecycle hooks; the OpenCode and agent setup runs when a user invokes the setup command. - **Impact:** The inspected behavior supports the package’s workflow and agent setup, with no confirmed attack effect. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-25T10:00:36.892Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The postinstall hook creates a project-local workflow state file. The explicit setup command configures OpenCode integrations and creates AGENTS.md; the prepare helper skips outside a Git checkout. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found no malicious behavior. The lifecycle hooks initialize local workflow state or conditionally set up Git hooks; OpenCode configuration changes are reachable through the explicit setup command. - **Files touched:** .state/workflow-state.json, opencode.json, AGENTS.md - **Network endpoints:** github.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json exposes setup as an explicit command; its postinstall hook only calls install.js to create project-local workflow state., prepare calls a Husky helper that skips when the package is not in a Git checkout., The setup routine writes the OpenCode configuration and creates AGENTS.md as part of the requested setup flow; its agent configuration behavior is reachable through that explicit command., The inspected dependencies provide MCP protocol and stdio code, dotenv configuration loading, and SQLite binding code; the SQLite install script invokes native build setup., The shared execution helper selects a repository working directory for workflow commands. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @programinglive/dev-workflow-mcp-server@1.9.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @programinglive/dev-workflow-mcp-server@1.9.1 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.
