Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 22 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed. - **Verdict:** Clean - **Product-default install policy:** Allow - **Firewall policy:** No policy match - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** None published - **Selected version:** 0.9.290 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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 manifest has no install lifecycle hooks, and the flagged persistence and agent-configuration mutations are invoked through dedicated user commands. The credential-to-foreign-host hint is a false positive: the OpenAI URL is used to read a JWT claim locally, while the proof is sent to the configured Agnoclast service as part of the confidential-brain feature. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T20:34:39.485Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T20:35:20.562Z - **Download time:** 1011 ms - **Static scan time:** 2291 ms - **AI review time:** 37775 ms - **Total time:** 41077 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 reviewed persistence and agent-configuration changes are behind explicit CLI commands. - **Trigger:** Closeout persistence requires running closeout-install; channel edits require selecting a channel. - **Impact:** No malicious behavior found in the reviewed paths; explicitly enabled closeout may resume eligible quiet sessions using the user's Claude account. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T20:35:20.562Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The package provides MCP integration and optional background session closeout. The flagged OpenAI host string is used to identify a JWT claim while parsing locally. - **Rationale:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hooks, and the flagged persistence and agent-configuration mutations are invoked through dedicated user commands. The credential-to-foreign-host hint is a false positive: the OpenAI URL is used to read a JWT claim locally, while the proof is sent to the configured Agnoclast service as part of the confidential-brain feature. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude.json, ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.codex/hooks.json, ~/.cursor/mcp.json, ~/.codex/config.toml, ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.agnoclast.closeout.plist, ~/.cortex/closeout/state.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest has no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook; its scripts are release, promote, and rollback commands., Background closeout is described as off by default and is installed by the explicit closeout-install command., The closeout job reviews quiet sessions with limits and runs using the user's Claude account., Channel configuration edits are part of the explicit channel command; with no argument, it reports status., The OpenAI URL appears as a JWT claim namespace parsed locally; the proof is sent to the configured Agnoclast service for a confidential-brain seat. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @theronap/agnoclast-mcp@0.9.290. - Review the evidence and your use of @theronap/agnoclast-mcp@0.9.290 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.
