AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged persistence is an optional LaunchAgent installed by an explicit command. Credential handling shown is tied to opening a confidential brain and sends proof and the token to the configured Agnoclast service.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
The MCP server runs when launched; editor setup, channel changes, and close-out installation require explicit CLI commands.
Impact
No malicious behavior was found. If the user opts in to close-out, it can process qualifying Claude sessions and incur model usage.
Mechanism
Confidential-session credentials go to the configured Agnoclast API for a requested confidential brain. Optional close-out uses a user-installed LaunchAgent.
AI rationale
The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged persistence is an optional LaunchAgent installed by an explicit command. Credential handling shown is tied to opening a confidential brain and sends proof and the token to the configured Agnoclast service.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 92.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json has no install, preinstall, or postinstall lifecycle script.
- The CLI runs closeout installation only for the explicit `closeout-install` command.
- The closeout LaunchAgent is documented as off by default; users can remove it with `--remove`.
- Confidential-session proof and token are sent to the configured Agnoclast API when a confidential brain is opened.
- The default API host is `https://agnoclast.com`.
- Channel configuration is exposed through the explicit `channel` command.
