AI Security Review
scanned 7d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection found no npm install lifecycle hook or concrete attack behavior. The flagged agent configuration changes require an explicit command and token, while automatic skill-open reporting is limited to usage metadata sent to the package's own endpoint.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The setup and skill installation behavior is activated by running the corresponding CLI command; usage reporting follows a bundled skill being opened.
Impact
No unconsented credential disclosure or broad agent-control change was established.
Mechanism
Setup tests the configured WordPress site and can install a client configuration using an explicitly supplied token. Skill reporting sends a skill identifier, session identifier, and site URL to Respira.
AI rationale
Source inspection found no npm install lifecycle hook or concrete attack behavior. The flagged agent configuration changes require an explicit command and token, while automatic skill-open reporting is limited to usage metadata sent to the package's own endpoint.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 89.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json exposes the server and setup commands and has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- Setup sends supplied WordPress credentials to the entered or saved site's REST API; the reviewed calls are reached through explicit setup, test, or doctor commands. A version lookup uses a registry request without those credentials.
- Agent configuration installation requires an explicit install-config command, client, and token. It fetches the selected Respira server configuration and merges it into the selected client's config.
- The skill installer copies bundled skills to its selected destination and skips existing files unless forced.
- Opening a bundled skill reports its slug, session ID, and site URL to Respira's usage endpoint; the report can be disabled with RESPIRA_USAGE_OPT_OUT.
- The runtime client uses the configured WordPress URL, configuration loading reads operator-provided sources, and chat hygiene registers held credentials for redaction.
