First-party ReMCP local device runtime: filesystem, terminal, computer-use, browser, diagnostics and document tools over MCP.
AI Security Review
scanned 7d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe reviewed entry point, telemetry flow and screenshot dependency match the package’s stated purpose as a local MCP device runtime. I found no install hook, undisclosed external endpoint or automatic credential transfer.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
The runtime starts when invoked by the device agent or user; individual tools run on request.
Impact
No malicious behavior was identified in the reviewed flows.
Mechanism
It serves MCP over stdio, uses the local D-Bus screenshot portal, and reports whitelisted telemetry through the paired agent.
AI rationale
The reviewed entry point, telemetry flow and screenshot dependency match the package’s stated purpose as a local MCP device runtime. I found no install hook, undisclosed external endpoint or automatic credential transfer.
Evidence

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 92.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package describes a local MCP runtime and declares no install lifecycle hook; its scripts start the runtime or run checks and tests.
- The runtime starts an MCP server over stdio, and telemetry is delivered as a notification through that server.
- Telemetry event fields are limited to tool names, timings, outcomes and coarse error classes, and the source says they go through the paired ReMCP agent.
- The D-Bus dependency is loaded for a desktop screenshot request; the returned screenshot URI must use the local file protocol.
Evidence against
- Telemetry is enabled by default, though users can opt out; the reviewed code sends it through the paired agent.
- The runtime exposes powerful local file, process, desktop and browser tools, consistent with its stated purpose.

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