It drops agents, commands, a configuration file, and enabled MCP command definitions without an explicit setup command. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs postinstall in the consumer project. - **Impact:** A package installation can alter an AI agent's available instructions and local tool execution configuration in the consumer workspace. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js, opencode.tera.example.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-29T19:37:35.852Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic installation-time creation of OpenCode configuration and agent extension files. - **Attack narrative:** The postinstall hook resolves the consumer workspace from INIT\_CWD and writes package content into .opencode/agents and .opencode/commands. On a first install it also creates .opencode/opencode.json, whose configuration enables MCP commands launched with npx. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface, so it can change the agent capabilities and instructions available in the consumer project. - **Rationale:** Direct source inspection confirms an automatic postinstall hook that writes a broad OpenCode agent control surface into the consuming project. This meets the install-hook abuse blocking policy even though the inspected installer shows no direct exfiltration. - **Files touched:** scripts/install.js, .opencode/agents/, .opencode/commands/, .opencode/opencode.json, .opencode/tera-core.manifest.json, tera-system/, tools/, .tera/license.state.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The npm postinstall hook automatically runs the installer., The installer targets the consumer workspace through INIT\_CWD., Installation creates and populates the consumer's .opencode agent and command directories., It creates .opencode/opencode.json when absent and writes a package ownership manifest., The installed configuration enables local MCP commands through npx without a user command. - **Evidence against:** No network request, credential exfiltration, shell execution, or dynamic code loading appears in the lifecycle installer., There is no runtime dependency on another release of this package., The installer preserves conflicting existing files, but that does not prevent first-install control-surface mutation. ## Public findings ### 1.
