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. Static source inspection found conditional credential exposure: skills sync forwards a wired token to a configurable destination without enforcing a service allowlist. The behavior supports a warning, but does not establish default exfiltration or malicious intent. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-11T02:27:54.170Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-11T02:29:02.687Z - **Download time:** 780 ms - **Static scan time:** 1580 ms - **AI review time:** 66156 ms - **Total time:** 68517 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:** The skills sync can expose an already-wired service token when CORTEX\_URL points to an untrusted host. The source does not establish that this happens by default. - **Trigger:** Run setup or a skills sync while CORTEX\_URL is set to an untrusted destination. - **Impact:** A configured destination could receive the existing service token and use it outside its intended service. - **Evidence paths:** lib/skills.mjs, lib/diagnose.mjs, lib/setup.mjs, bin/cortex-mcp.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T02:29:02.687Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The sync resolves a token from the environment or existing agent configuration, then sends it in an Authorization bearer header. The URL resolver permits arbitrary destinations beyond a narrow protected-host check. - **Rationale:** Static source inspection found conditional credential exposure: skills sync forwards a wired token to a configurable destination without enforcing a service allowlist. The behavior supports a warning, but does not establish default exfiltration or malicious intent. - **Files touched:** lib/skills.mjs, lib/diagnose.mjs, lib/setup.mjs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest defines a CLI and release scripts, with no npm install lifecycle hook; setup is a CLI command., The skills sync reads an existing wired token and sends it as a bearer token to the skills endpoint., CORTEX\_URL can select an arbitrary destination; the resolver rejects certain protected deployment URLs but does not enforce a service allowlist., Setup invokes skills sync, which installs returned organization skills into detected agent CLI skill directories., The inspected editor, uninstall, skills, and working-file locations show agent configuration, managed cleanup, skill handling, and session transcript tracking. - **Evidence against:** The token send occurs in the organization skills sync flow; no source inspected here establishes a hidden default recipient or theft intent., The Antigravity adapter writes artifacts but does not activate its watcher itself. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @theronap/agnoclast-mcp@0.9.185. - Review the evidence and your use of @theronap/agnoclast-mcp@0.9.185 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.
