## 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:** 0.23.5
- **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.

The package has a concrete capability to write agent and project configuration, but the inspected caller is the explicit connect command and no automatic install-time mutation was found. This supports a warning for user-invoked agent configuration changes, not a publish block.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-07T20:51:25.440Z

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 flow writes configuration for daemon and agent integrations. No confirmed package-install attack surface was identified.

- **Trigger:** A user invokes the telora-daemon connect command with a connect token.

- **Impact:** These writes can alter the local agent configuration and project setup when the command is intentionally run.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T20:52:31.271Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The flow writes daemon configuration and harness-specific files, including agent instruction or settings files, then provisions the daemon.

- **Rationale:** The package has a concrete capability to write agent and project configuration, but the inspected caller is the explicit connect command and no automatic install-time mutation was found. This supports a warning for user-invoked agent configuration changes, not a publish block.

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

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 82.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The package has a prepublishOnly build hook, with no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook in its manifest., The connect command invokes a flow that writes daemon and harness configuration, including files used by agent tools., The self-update npm installation is exposed through the daemon's update flow, not its package installation hook.

- **Evidence against:** Agent configuration changes are reached through an explicit connect command that redeems a token; the source inspected does not show an automatic package-install trigger for these writes.

## Affected versions and remediation
