AI Security Review
scanned 12d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection found no npm install lifecycle hook or concrete attack behavior. Agent configuration changes are initiated by explicit commands, and the setup fetch targets the package's Respira service with a supplied token.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user explicitly runs the setup or skills command; setup configuration requires an install token.
Impact
These actions configure the package's own WordPress MCP integration and skills; inspected source did not establish covert control-surface mutation or credential theft.
Mechanism
Setup fetches a Respira MCP configuration and merges one named server entry into a selected client configuration. The skills command copies bundled files to a selected skills directory.
AI rationale
Source inspection found no npm install lifecycle hook or concrete attack behavior. Agent configuration changes are initiated by explicit commands, and the setup fetch targets the package's Respira service with a supplied token.

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 defines no install lifecycle hook; setup is a separate, explicitly invoked command.
- Setup targets named agent configuration files, fetches config from the Respira website using a supplied install token, and writes a single named MCP server entry.
- The skills installer copies bundled skill files only when its command is invoked; existing files are skipped unless force is specified.
- The flagged config location describes configuration precedence; it does not show secret collection or exfiltration.
- The server's process-list command is limited to diagnostic process inspection.
