@roarkanalytics/sdk-mcp@3.18.0
The official MCP Server for the Roark API
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package presents a real, externally influenced agent-execution surface, so it warrants a warning. Its behavior is explicit and constrained, and source inspection found no concrete malware chain.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Starting the MCP server fetches instructions; calling the execute MCP tool runs supplied code.
Impact
A compromised instruction service or a malicious tool request could influence an AI agent or perform actions allowed by the configured Roark API credentials.
Mechanism
Remote instruction retrieval and sandboxed caller-code execution.
AI rationale
The package presents a real, externally influenced agent-execution surface, so it warrants a warning. Its behavior is explicit and constrained, and source inspection found no concrete malware chain.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 82.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The MCP server fetches runtime instructions from an external Stainless endpoint when it starts.
- The enabled execute tool evaluates caller-supplied TypeScript and invokes it with an authenticated Roark client.
- Local execution grants the worker network access to the configured Roark API host and environment access.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or self-dependency.
- The normal CLI defaults code execution to local and rejects the retired remote sandbox mode.
- The local worker restricts network access to the configured API hostname; no covert file harvesting, persistence, or destructive action was found.
