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 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-10T02:49:49.241Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-10T02:50:46.808Z - **Download time:** 767 ms - **Static scan time:** 2898 ms - **AI review time:** 53901 ms - **Total time:** 57567 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:** At MCP-server startup, it retrieves externally hosted instructions. Its execute tool runs supplied TypeScript locally with a Roark API client in a Deno worker. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** src/instructions.ts, src/code-tool.ts, src/code-tool-worker.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-10T02:50:46.808Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote instruction retrieval and sandboxed caller-code execution. - **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. - **Files touched:** src/instructions.ts, src/code-tool.ts, src/code-tool-worker.ts - **Network endpoints:** https://api.stainless.com/api/ai/instructions/roark-analytics ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @roarkanalytics/sdk-mcp@3.18.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @roarkanalytics/sdk-mcp@3.18.0 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.
