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 agent configuration write is a real capability and merits a warning under the agent-integration policy. The inspected manifest provides no evidence of automatic install-time activation or a concrete malicious payload. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-29T23:37:06.540Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-29T23:39:04.454Z - **Download time:** 1010 ms - **Static scan time:** 2384 ms - **AI review time:** 114520 ms - **Total time:** 117914 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 CLI can add Taskless skill files to an agent integration directory after a user invokes its setup or init functionality. No unconsented install-time execution or confirmed credential or data export was identified. - **Trigger:** A user or automation explicitly runs the Taskless setup or init command in a project. - **Impact:** This changes the project-local agent capability surface, but no confirmed attack surface beyond that explicit configuration action was established. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-29T23:39:04.454Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The command selects agent targets and writes SKILL.md files beneath the selected integration directory. - **Rationale:** The agent configuration write is a real capability and merits a warning under the agent-integration policy. The inspected manifest provides no evidence of automatic install-time activation or a concrete malicious payload. - **Files touched:** .agents ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest scripts shown contain build and generation commands, with no npm install lifecycle hook., The bundle detects a Codex project configuration and maps that integration to the .agents directory., The installer writes SKILL.md files under selected agent directories when its init or setup flow runs. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.11.4-20260929223045x656d04b. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.11.4-20260929223045x656d04b 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.
