AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged configuration and persistence behaviors are reached through explicit setup, install or channel commands. Antigravity wiring leaves its launchd agent unloaded, so the scanner’s persistence and control-surface alerts do not establish an attack.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user runs the `setup`, `install` or `channel` subcommand.
Impact
No harmful automatic effect was identified in the inspected paths.
Mechanism
These commands write editor configuration; Antigravity wiring also creates a script and launchd plist but does not load the agent.
AI rationale
The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged configuration and persistence behaviors are reached through explicit setup, install or channel commands. Antigravity wiring leaves its launchd agent unloaded, so the scanner’s persistence and control-surface alerts do not establish an attack.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json lists only release, promote and rollback scripts; it has no install lifecycle hook.
- The CLI reaches setup and install behavior only through explicit subcommands.
- Antigravity wiring writes a shell script and launchd plist but explicitly does not load the agent.
- Channel configuration changes run through the explicit `channel` command.
Evidence against
- The package’s stated purpose is to connect AI assistants to the organization’s Cortex service.
- The Antigravity watcher is inactive until a user loads it, and its generated script depends on a local development checkout.
- The inspected configuration writes support editor wiring and package-channel selection; no unrelated collector or hidden action was identified.
