AI Security Review

scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The source shows an explicit CLI setup capability that writes Claude Code hook configuration, which warrants a warning under the agent integration policy. The flagged credential-redirection claim is unsupported: the observed token flow is prompted Todoist authentication to Todoist’s API, and no install lifecycle hook performs these changes.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.

Trigger

A user runs the interactive setup or the worker install command.

Impact

The configured hooks can run during later Claude Code events; no unconsented install-time configuration change was found.

Mechanism

The CLI merges hook settings into the user's Claude settings and writes changes when needed.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The CLI’s interactive setup merges hooks and other settings into Claude’s user settings file.
The separate worker install command can update an Agent hook registration; it is explicitly invoked by the user.
Setup prompts before adopting a Todoist token and sends Todoist API calls to api.todoist.com.
package.json defines prepublishOnly for building; it has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.

Evidence against

The inspected credential flow is for Todoist and its service API, not an unofficial gateway.
The inspected configuration changes are performed by explicit setup or worker install commands, not an npm lifecycle hook.
