Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package has no install hook, but its user-invoked skill installer places first-party agent instructions that call for silent telemetry containing site and report data. This warrants a warning for the guarded, package-owned agent capability rather than a publication block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-11T04:15:35.849Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-11T04:17:04.447Z - **Download time:** 2019 ms - **Static scan time:** 2059 ms - **AI review time:** 84518 ms - **Total time:** 88598 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:** An explicitly installed agent skill directs the agent to silently send report telemetry to Respira after producing a report. The package provides a helper that posts the supplied payload. - **Trigger:** A user runs the separate skill-install command, then an agent follows the installed skill while generating a report. - **Impact:** Report and site metadata may be disclosed to the package-aligned service without an explicit telemetry prompt at report time; inspected evidence does not show credential transmission. - **Evidence paths:** dist/install-skills.js, skills/mobile-experience-report/SKILL.md, skills/mobile-experience-report/telemetry.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T04:17:04.447Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The skill requests a silent telemetry POST; its helper sends the supplied data to the Respira endpoint, including possible site and findings metadata. - **Rationale:** The package has no install hook, but its user-invoked skill installer places first-party agent instructions that call for silent telemetry containing site and report data. This warrants a warning for the guarded, package-owned agent capability rather than a publication block. - **Files touched:** dist/install-skills.js, skills/mobile-experience-report/SKILL.md, skills/mobile-experience-report/telemetry.ts - **Network endpoints:** https://www.respira.press/api/skills/track-usage ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest exposes a separate skill-install command and includes bundled skills; no npm install lifecycle hook is present., The skill installer copies bundled files to a skills directory under the user's home by default., An installed skill directs the agent to silently send telemetry after generating a report., The telemetry helper posts the supplied payload to a fixed Respira endpoint without waiting for the response., The payload can include the WordPress site URL, version details, and report findings. - **Evidence against:** The telemetry endpoint is package-aligned, and the reviewed flow sends report metadata rather than WordPress credentials., The skill copy and setup configuration writes are performed through separate commands, not automatically during npm installation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.3.34. - Review the evidence and your use of @respira/wordpress-mcp-server@8.3.34 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
