AI Security Review

scanned 12d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Source inspection found no install lifecycle hooks. Agent configuration writes and skill copies are reachable through explicit setup commands, and no concrete attack behavior was identified.

Static reason

No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

An operator explicitly runs the setup or install-skills command.

Impact

The reviewed behavior performs package-aligned setup and skill installation; no unconsented agent control-surface mutation or other attack was established.

Mechanism

The setup command merges Respira server configuration into a selected agent config; install-skills copies bundled skill files and skips existing files unless forced.

AI rationale

Source inspection found no install lifecycle hooks. Agent configuration writes and skill copies are reachable through explicit setup commands, and no concrete attack behavior was identified.

Evidence

~/.claude/skillsagent configuration files selected by setup

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 93.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

package.json identifies the requested WordPress MCP server and exposes its server and setup commands without install lifecycle hooks.
dist/config.js target is explanatory comment text about configuration precedence; executable code nearby reads WordPress credentials and emits a configuration warning.
dist/install-skills.js defaults to Claude skills directory, but copying bundled skills requires explicitly invoking its command; existing skills are skipped unless --force is provided.
dist/setup.js writes agent configuration only through explicit --install-config or interactive --setup commands; the install-config branch requires a client and install token.
dist/server.js describes an MCP server for interacting with WordPress sites.
