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 reachable library path forwards existing service credentials to an unrestricted configurable endpoint, meeting the credential-forwarding warning policy. No separate block-eligible attack behavior was established. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-30T12:12:42.254Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-30T12:14:48.315Z - **Download time:** 1285 ms - **Static scan time:** 2355 ms - **AI review time:** 122420 ms - **Total time:** 126061 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:** Remote execution can forward an existing Roark credential to an unrestricted operator-configured endpoint. This establishes conditional credential exposure, but no confirmed malicious attack. - **Trigger:** A remote execution tool call through the server library, including callers that omit execution options, with CODE\_MODE\_ENDPOINT\_URL configured. - **Impact:** The configured recipient can receive a credential intended for the Roark API; the normal local CLI execution path avoids this forwarding. - **Evidence paths:** code-tool.js, server.js, options.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-30T12:14:48.315Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The remote handler reads the Roark bearer token and sends it in the client-environment header to the selected URL without destination validation. - **Rationale:** The reachable library path forwards existing service credentials to an unrestricted configurable endpoint, meeting the credential-forwarding warning policy. No separate block-eligible attack behavior was established. - **Network endpoints:** https://api.stainless.com/api/ai/code-tool ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** code-tool.js selects an environment-configurable remote endpoint without restricting its destination., The remote handler reads the existing Roark bearer token from the environment or SDK client., The remote request sends merged client credentials in a POST header., server.js includes the execution tool by default and selects remote execution when library callers omit execution options., The CLI defaults to local execution and rejects the retired remote mode., package.json has no automatic installation lifecycle hooks. - **Evidence against:** No concrete malicious intent or covert package-controlled recipient was established., Credential forwarding requires a remote execution tool call; the normal CLI uses local execution. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @roarkanalytics/sdk-mcp@4.0.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @roarkanalytics/sdk-mcp@4.0.1 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.
