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 package has no install hooks or automatic persistence activation. The flagged credential flow and editor configuration changes are limited to the stated Agnoclast integration and user-triggered setup or tool requests. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T02:00:58.209Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T02:01:35.192Z - **Download time:** 504 ms - **Static scan time:** 2255 ms - **AI review time:** 34224 ms - **Total time:** 36983 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. The flagged configuration writes and confidential-session credential flow serve the package’s stated MCP integration and are user-triggered or tied to a requested confidential-brain tool call. - **Trigger:** The user runs setup/install/channel, or an MCP tool request names a confidential brain; Antigravity sync runs only after its generated launch agent is activated. - **Impact:** Expected integration behavior; no unrelated credential collection, unauthorized account action, or concealed persistence was found. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T02:01:35.192Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The package edits editor configuration during setup, can generate Antigravity sync files, and exchanges a user token plus account proof with the Agnoclast API for a confidential seat token. - **Rationale:** The package has no install hooks or automatic persistence activation. The flagged credential flow and editor configuration changes are limited to the stated Agnoclast integration and user-triggered setup or tool requests. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude.json, ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.codex/config.toml, ~/.codex/hooks.json, ~/.cortex/antigravity-sync.sh, ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.cortex.antigravity-sync.plist - **Network endpoints:** agnoclast.com, 1.1.1.1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hooks; it exposes an explicit CLI and declares only release, promote, and rollback scripts., Setup and cross-editor install are dispatched only when the user runs those commands., The confidential-session proof and seat-token exchange occur for a tool request naming a confidential brain and use the Agnoclast API flow., The Antigravity adapter writes its watcher artifacts when wired but does not load the launch agent. - **Evidence against:** The CLI reads environment variables, accesses local configuration and credentials, and makes network requests as part of its MCP and setup functions., Antigravity’s generated launch agent watches local application state and can run a sync after a user activates it. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @theronap/agnoclast-mcp@0.9.278. - Review the evidence and your use of @theronap/agnoclast-mcp@0.9.278 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.
