## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 12 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 0.7.5
- **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The inspected entrypoint and runtime behavior match a configured private monitoring agent. VM and network primitives are used for monitor expressions, scripts, and communication with the configured service; no unrelated recipient or attack behavior was found.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-13T20:32:54.265Z

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:** No attack was identified. The package runs as a private monitoring agent that polls a configured cloud host for jobs and reports their results there.

- **Trigger:** A user invokes the command-line agent with APP\_URL and an agent or runtime token configured.

- **Impact:** No harmful behavior was confirmed; the observed network activity supports the package’s monitoring function.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-13T20:37:17.284Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** It fetches monitoring jobs from the configured host, executes their requests and scripts, then posts results to that host. Script execution uses a VM context with a timeout.

- **Rationale:** The inspected entrypoint and runtime behavior match a configured private monitoring agent. VM and network primitives are used for monitor expressions, scripts, and communication with the configured service; no unrelated recipient or attack behavior was found.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes dist/index.cjs as the command-line entrypoint and main module., The runner requires an APP\_URL and caller-supplied agent or runtime token., The agent polls that configured host for monitoring jobs and posts results to the same host., Monitor scripts run in a VM context with a timeout; template expressions use a separate context containing dynamic variables.
