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 a concrete, default-path transfer of an API bearer token and arbitrary caller environment values to a third-party remote executor, plus unvalidated remote instruction loading. These are serious runtime risks but do not establish stealthy malware or an install-time attack chain. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-04T00:15:05.137Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-04T00:16:13.115Z - **Download time:** 780 ms - **Static scan time:** 2318 ms - **AI review time:** 64879 ms - **Total time:** 67978 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:** When an MCP client invokes the default execute tool, the package transmits the Roark bearer token, supplied code, and merged client environment values to a third-party Stainless endpoint. At startup it also imports remote instructions into the MCP server. - **Trigger:** Starting the MCP server, or invoking its execute tool. - **Impact:** A third party receives credentials that can access the Roark API and can influence MCP instructions at runtime. - **Evidence paths:** code-tool.js, instructions.js, server.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-04T00:16:13.115Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote instruction loading and credential forwarding to a remote code runner. - **Rationale:** The package has a concrete, default-path transfer of an API bearer token and arbitrary caller environment values to a third-party remote executor, plus unvalidated remote instruction loading. These are serious runtime risks but do not establish stealthy malware or an install-time attack chain. - **Files touched:** code-tool.js, instructions.js, server.js - **Network endpoints:** https://api.stainless.com/api/ai/code-tool, https://api.stainless.com/api/ai/instructions/roark-analytics ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The default remote code tool sends the Roark bearer token and caller-supplied environment values to api.stainless.com., The MCP server fetches remote instructions at startup and supplies them to connected AI clients without validation., The package exposes code execution by default, increasing the impact of the remote credential transfer. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no install or postinstall lifecycle hook., The network actions are part of named MCP documentation and code-execution tools; no persistence, destructive action, or hidden payload was found., The local execution path restricts network access to the configured Roark API host. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @roarkanalytics/sdk-mcp@3.5.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @roarkanalytics/sdk-mcp@3.5.0 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.
