AI Security Review
scanned 25d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection found no automatic npm install behavior or confirmed attack. The explicit installer can prepare Antigravity persistence that requires manual activation, so the package warrants a capability warning.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user runs the package's install command with a token and Antigravity is among the selected editors.
Impact
If manually activated, the watcher can run the configured sync script when watched files change. The source says the script depends on a local development checkout, limiting its operation on other machines.
Mechanism
The Antigravity adapter writes a sync script and a launch-agent plist. The plist watches an Antigravity directory, but the adapter does not load it automatically.
AI rationale
Source inspection found no automatic npm install behavior or confirmed attack. The explicit installer can prepare Antigravity persistence that requires manual activation, so the package warrants a capability warning.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 87.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; its scripts are release, promote, and rollback commands.
- The Codex and Cursor adapter locations describe editor-specific wiring, including capture-hook behavior.
- Setup and skills code describe user-run configuration and skill installation for supported editors.
- Uninstall is a CLI operation with a dry-run option.
- The explicit install command can write an executable Antigravity sync script and a launch-agent plist; the plist is not loaded automatically and activation requires a separate command.
Evidence against
- The package has no npm install lifecycle hook that triggers these changes during dependency installation.
- The Antigravity launch agent has RunAtLoad disabled, and the installer reports that it must be loaded manually.
