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. Source inspection found no install lifecycle hook or confirmed attack chain. The flagged configuration writes are part of explicit package setup, the uninstall finding removes managed entries, and the Antigravity watcher is not activated by the adapter. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-11T02:27:43.132Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-11T02:29:21.079Z - **Download time:** 760 ms - **Static scan time:** 1513 ms - **AI review time:** 95673 ms - **Total time:** 97947 ms 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 in the inspected source. The package configures its own MCP integration through explicit commands. - **Trigger:** A user runs the setup or install command; Antigravity activation additionally requires a separate user command. - **Impact:** No confirmed unauthorized control-surface change, data theft, or active persistence was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T02:29:21.079Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Setup writes package-specific agent configuration, and install may create an Antigravity watcher script and launch agent file. The reviewed adapter does not activate that agent. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found no install lifecycle hook or confirmed attack chain. The flagged configuration writes are part of explicit package setup, the uninstall finding removes managed entries, and the Antigravity watcher is not activated by the adapter. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest defines a CLI entry point and no install lifecycle hook., Codex and Cursor adapters add this package’s MCP server to their own configuration; these are setup behaviors., Setup writes the user-provided token and MCP configuration when explicitly run., The Antigravity adapter writes a watcher script and launch agent file, but does not activate the watcher; it warns that activation requires a separate user command., Uninstall removes managed hooks and launch agents, matching the flagged cleanup behavior., Diagnosis reads tokens from the package’s own configured MCP entries; the reviewed source does not establish an unrelated recipient. - **Evidence against:** The explicit install command can write an Antigravity launch agent and sync script, creating a persistence capability if the user later activates it. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @theronap/agnoclast-mcp@0.9.164. - Review the evidence and your use of @theronap/agnoclast-mcp@0.9.164 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
