## Verdict summary
**Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk
- **Selected version:** 0.22.189
- **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

Source inspection found first-party agent configuration setup that affects later agent sessions, which warrants a warning under the agent integration policy. The manifest's prepublishOnly command builds the package, and the inspected runtime operations do not establish a publish-blocking attack.

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 package includes a first-party agent setup capability that writes Telora instructions, settings, and MCP registrations. No confirmed attack was identified; the residual concern is that setup changes what supported agent tools load in later sessions.

- **Trigger:** Running the Telora connect setup flow.

- **Impact:** Subsequent agent sessions may load Telora-provided instructions, hooks, or MCP tools.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/cli/connect.js, dist/cli/connect/claude.js, dist/cli/connect/config-write.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T03:41:44.482Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The flow writes project and agent configuration, and may merge workstation tracking hooks into user Claude settings when telora-ai is present.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found first-party agent configuration setup that affects later agent sessions, which warrants a warning under the agent integration policy. The manifest's prepublishOnly command builds the package, and the inspected runtime operations do not establish a publish-blocking attack.

- **Files touched:** dist/cli/connect.js, dist/cli/connect/claude.js, dist/cli/connect/config-write.js

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 80.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The manifest defines prepublishOnly as a build and metadata-stamping command, with no install-time hook., The connect command provisions agent scaffolding and MCP registrations in project or agent configuration., The Claude connector merges Telora settings into existing configuration and writes the result when it changes., The connect flow can also register workstation tracking and merge hooks into user Claude settings when telora-ai is available., The inspected worktree and shell operations concern dependency installation analysis and daemon configuration reloads; they do not establish a package-install attack.

- **Evidence against:** The configuration setup is part of the explicit connect flow, and the manifest's lifecycle command is prepublishOnly., The cited runtime operations show worktree dependency installation, install-script analysis, and configuration reload behavior rather than credential transfer or destructive actions.
