## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 12 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 0.12.1-20261012211347xa36bab1
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The manifest has no npm install lifecycle hook, and the flagged eval sample is part of a bundled demo rule rather than executable payload code. The agent setup path is user initiated and includes selection and confirmation prompts; no concrete malicious behavior was established.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0%

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:** No attack was identified in the inspected source. Agent setup is initiated through the CLI and asks the user to select tools before installation.

- **Trigger:** A user runs the CLI setup command.

- **Impact:** No confirmed unauthorized credential transfer, hidden code execution, or agent control change was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-12T21:22:21.092Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The CLI detects project tool directories, prompts for selected tools, and requests confirmation before writing integration files.

- **Rationale:** The manifest has no npm install lifecycle hook, and the flagged eval sample is part of a bundled demo rule rather than executable payload code. The agent setup path is user initiated and includes selection and confirmation prompts; no concrete malicious behavior was established.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json lists build, generation, and test scripts; the inspected manifest has no npm install lifecycle hook., package.json points the CLI entrypoint to dist/index.js., The bundled eval example is inside a demo rule string, not an executed call., Agent integration detects project tool directories, then asks which tools to enable Taskless for., The init flow obtains confirmation before writing selected agent integration files.
