## Verdict summary
**Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse
- **Selected version:** 0.22.42
- **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.

This package exposes risky remote-agent and AI configuration capabilities, including disabled Claude permission checks. The actions are user-command initiated and there is no install-time execution or demonstrated theft, so the evidence supports a warning rather than a block.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious

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 explicit connect workflow can modify AI-agent configuration, start a background daemon, and install a global package copy. The daemon can launch remote-request-driven Claude agents with permission checks disabled.

- **Trigger:** A user runs the connect command or operates the configured daemon.

- **Impact:** A connected user grants the daemon authority to alter agent settings and run agents in the configured repository.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/nexus/intake-spawn.js, dist/cli/connect.js, dist/cli/connect/config-write.js, dist/cli/connect/registration.js, dist/update/auto-update.js

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Explicit AI-agent provisioning, remote-request agent spawning, and global self-updating.

- **Rationale:** This package exposes risky remote-agent and AI configuration capabilities, including disabled Claude permission checks. The actions are user-command initiated and there is no install-time execution or demonstrated theft, so the evidence supports a warning rather than a block.

- **Files touched:** repoPath/.mcp.json, repoPath/.telora/daemon.json, ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.codex/config.toml, ~/.codex/AGENTS.md

- **Network endpoints:** api.syntelyos.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 86.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** The daemon launches Claude with permission checks disabled for accepted remote requests., The explicit connect command can install and start a global copy of this package., The connect flow merges tracking hooks into a user's Claude settings when a companion binary is present., Runtime auto-update installs the latest package globally.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook and no dependency on itself., The configuration writes and daemon start are reached through explicit CLI connect/setup behavior, not package installation., No direct credential harvesting or unrelated data exfiltration was found in the inspected paths.

## Affected versions and remediation
