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 no npm install hook, and the flagged agent configuration changes are invoked through CLI commands. However, a custom CORTEX\_URL can receive a reused token without a recipient allowlist, so this warrants a warning for conditional credential exposure. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-24T00:10:09.923Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-24T00:12:49.764Z - **Download time:** 3853 ms - **Static scan time:** 1998 ms - **AI review time:** 153990 ms - **Total time:** 159841 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:** A configured custom CORTEX\_URL can receive an existing Cortex token during ordinary runtime requests. The source restricts certain Vercel hosts but accepts other custom domains without binding the token to the default service. - **Trigger:** The consumer sets CORTEX\_URL to a custom domain and runs the MCP server, capture hook, or doctor check with a token available. - **Impact:** The configured host can receive the existing token, creating conditional credential exposure. - **Evidence paths:** lib/diagnose.mjs, lib/server.mjs, lib/capture.mjs, lib/doctor.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-24T00:12:49.764Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The client attaches the token as a bearer authorization header to requests sent to the resolved base URL. - **Rationale:** The package has no npm install hook, and the flagged agent configuration changes are invoked through CLI commands. However, a custom CORTEX\_URL can receive a reused token without a recipient allowlist, so this warrants a warning for conditional credential exposure. - **Files touched:** lib/diagnose.mjs, lib/server.mjs, lib/capture.mjs, lib/doctor.mjs - **Network endpoints:** https://agnoclast.com, CORTEX\_URL ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package exposes a CLI and its manifest lists no npm install lifecycle hook., CORTEX\_URL defaults to the Cortex host, but configured custom domains pass through without a recipient allowlist., The runtime can reuse a token from its environment or saved MCP configuration, then send it in a bearer authorization header., The MCP server, capture path, and doctor check use the configured base and token during normal runtime., The reviewed editor configuration writes are reached through CLI setup or install commands; Antigravity's watcher requires a separate launchctl command to activate. - **Evidence against:** The default recipient is the package-aligned https://agnoclast.com service., A custom recipient requires setting CORTEX\_URL; source inspection found no package-selected unrelated default recipient., The package has no npm install lifecycle hook, and Antigravity does not activate its watcher when writing the files. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @theronap/agnoclast-mcp@0.9.259. - Review the evidence and your use of @theronap/agnoclast-mcp@0.9.259 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.
