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 unrestricted endpoint override combined with forwarding an existing service credential is a concrete conditional credential-exposure capability. Static inspection found no install-time behavior, hidden recipient, or confirmed active theft. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-26T05:47:32.108Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-26T05:48:39.595Z - **Download time:** 780 ms - **Static scan time:** 2680 ms - **AI review time:** 64026 ms - **Total time:** 67487 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:** The optional remote code-execution path can forward a Roark bearer token to an endpoint selected by an environment variable. No install-time attack was identified. - **Trigger:** An MCP client invokes the enabled code-execution tool in remote mode. - **Impact:** An operator-configured endpoint could receive the Roark credential during code execution; no confirmed hostile recipient is present in the package. - **Evidence paths:** code-tool.js, server.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-26T05:48:39.595Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The handler combines the existing Roark credential with client environment values and posts them to the configured code endpoint without a destination allowlist. - **Rationale:** The unrestricted endpoint override combined with forwarding an existing service credential is a concrete conditional credential-exposure capability. Static inspection found no install-time behavior, hidden recipient, or confirmed active theft. - **Network endpoints:** https://api.stainless.com/api/ai/code-tool ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The code tool takes the Roark bearer token from the client or environment and selects its remote endpoint from an unrestricted environment variable., The remote handler sends the merged client environment values in a request header to that selected endpoint., The code tool is enabled by default when server tools are selected., The package metadata has no npm install lifecycle hook. - **Evidence against:** The built-in fallback endpoint is a named Stainless API endpoint rather than an unrelated host., The credential forwarding occurs only when the MCP code-execution tool is invoked. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @roarkanalytics/sdk-mcp@4.6.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @roarkanalytics/sdk-mcp@4.6.0 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.
