## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 12 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:** 0.2.198
- **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 package’s runtime behavior matches its stated local-device tooling purpose. Its default-on runtime metrics are disclosed, limited to usage fields, routed through the paired ReMCP agent, and can be disabled.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0%
- **Started:** 2026-11-01T15:02:40.351Z
- **Finished:** 2026-11-01T15:03:17.811Z
- **Download time:** 515 ms
- **Static scan time:** 1486 ms

- **Total time:** 37460 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; the package provides local device tools and disclosed runtime usage metrics.

- **Trigger:** Telemetry can be emitted while the runtime is running, and screen capture occurs when its tool is invoked.

- **Impact:** No unauthorized collection, unrelated network contact, or other attack behavior was found in the reviewed paths.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T15:03:17.811Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Metrics are filtered and sent through the paired-agent MCP channel; screenshots use the local desktop portal and D-Bus dependency.

- **Rationale:** The package’s runtime behavior matches its stated local-device tooling purpose. Its default-on runtime metrics are disclosed, limited to usage fields, routed through the paired ReMCP agent, and can be disabled.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package runs as a local MCP runtime via its \`remcp-runtime\` binary and declares no install lifecycle scripts., Runtime help discloses opt-out usage metrics, says they go through the paired ReMCP agent to the user's account, and provides ways to disable them., Telemetry code limits event fields to tool names, timings, outcomes, and coarse error classes; it excludes paths, commands, arguments, and tool output., Telemetry is sent through the MCP server notification sink, with runtime version and platform details., The screenshot module lazily imports the declared D-Bus dependency for portal-based screen capture.

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

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
package = @remcp/runtime; repositoryIdentity = remcp; dependency = @jellybrick/dbus-next
L249: timeoutMs = DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS,
L250: loadDbus = () => import('@jellybrick/dbus-next'),
L251: } = {}) {
```
