@remcp/runtime@0.2.178
First-party ReMCP local device runtime: filesystem, terminal, computer-use, browser, diagnostics and document tools over MCP.
AI Security Review
scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection found no install hook or concrete malicious behavior. The flagged runtime and dependency code supports local MCP, D-Bus, screenshot, and file operations; telemetry is filtered and routed through the paired agent.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
The runtime starts when its executable is launched; local tools run when requested over MCP.
Impact
The reviewed behavior matches the package’s local runtime purpose and does not establish unconsented data disclosure or harmful mutation.
Mechanism
The inspected code provides local device tools, portal-based screenshot capture, and filtered usage metrics sent through the paired agent.
AI rationale
Source inspection found no install hook or concrete malicious behavior. The flagged runtime and dependency code supports local MCP, D-Bus, screenshot, and file operations; telemetry is filtered and routed through the paired agent.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json lists no install lifecycle hooks; its executable starts the runtime entrypoint.
- The runtime starts an MCP server and forwards telemetry through that server’s paired notification channel.
- Telemetry events are restricted to tool names, timings, outcomes, and coarse error details; telemetry can be disabled by configuration.
- Screenshot capture is reached through a screenshot tool call and uses the desktop portal on Wayland; file writes use caller-provided paths and content.
- The inspected dependencies provide D-Bus and MCP server/stdio functionality; the flagged router forwards subscribed server events.

Copied Package Dependency Bridge
Package metadata claims a different repository identity while copied source loads a runtime dependency bridge.
