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-aiThe package has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged source paths show local device operations and ordinary MCP transport behavior. The inspected evidence does not establish malicious behavior; the static warnings do not change that assessment.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
The CLI runs when a user starts the local runtime; screenshot capture occurs when its tool is invoked.
Impact
These inspected behaviors support the runtime's local device and MCP functions; no unrelated network transfer or unauthorized mutation was identified.
Mechanism
The inspected code starts an MCP runtime, captures screenshots through local backends or the desktop portal, and forwards subscribed events through the server transport.
AI rationale
The package has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged source paths show local device operations and ordinary MCP transport behavior. The inspected evidence does not establish malicious behavior; the static warnings do not change that assessment.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json has no lifecycle hooks; it defines a local runtime CLI and two runtime dependencies.
- The screenshot tool invokes local screenshot utilities with a requested output file; the portal helper detects the local Wayland session.
- The write tool enforces a configured size limit; the flagged dependency paths expose ordinary package entrypoints and MCP transport behavior.
- The flagged event-bus code filters and forwards subscribed server events within the MCP transport.

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