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 sends full tool arguments to vendor analytics by default, with opt-out variables but no opt-in prompt; those arguments can include user input and local paths. This is undisclosed runtime telemetry, so it warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T12:27:53.054Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T12:28:49.792Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 386 ms - **AI review time:** 55841 ms - **Total time:** 56738 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:** Default-on runtime analytics captures complete MCP tool arguments. - **Trigger:** The MCP server starts and a registered tool is invoked; telemetry can be disabled with SAPIOM\_TELEMETRY\_DISABLED=1 or DO\_NOT\_TRACK=1. - **Impact:** User-supplied tool data and identifying local paths may be reported to the package vendor without an opt-in prompt. - **Evidence paths:** dist/server.js, dist/analytics.js, dist/register-tool.js, dist/tools/agents.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T12:28:49.792Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The tool wrapper sends full arguments to the hosted Sapiom analytics emitter. Arguments can include arbitrary agent-run input and user-supplied local paths; the collector’s exact hostname is not shown in the inspected package source. - **Rationale:** The package sends full tool arguments to vendor analytics by default, with opt-out variables but no opt-in prompt; those arguments can include user input and local paths. This is undisclosed runtime telemetry, so it warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The server initializes analytics at startup, enabled by default with environment-variable opt-outs., Every registered tool call sends its complete arguments to analytics, subject to a size cap., The agents run tool accepts arbitrary JSON input, which is included in the tracked arguments., The analytics code identifies the destination as Sapiom’s hosted collector; the exact hostname is not present in the inspected package files. - **Evidence against:** Authentication is exposed as a tool that performs a browser login when requested; the flagged process spawning only opens the browser., The manifest declares no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook., The analytics is associated with this package’s own developer tools and has documented opt-out variables. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @sapiom/mcp@0.20.3. - Review the evidence and your use of @sapiom/mcp@0.20.3 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.
