AI Security Review
scanned 25d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection found no npm lifecycle execution or confirmed attack chain. The optional Antigravity integration writes a watcher configuration that can run automatically after separate activation, warranting a warning under the agent extension lifecycle policy.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user runs the package’s install command with Antigravity detected, then separately loads the generated plist.
Impact
If activated, changes to the watched store can trigger the sync script automatically.
Mechanism
The installer writes a sync script and a plist that watches Antigravity’s trajectory store and invokes the script.
AI rationale
Source inspection found no npm lifecycle execution or confirmed attack chain. The optional Antigravity integration writes a watcher configuration that can run automatically after separate activation, warranting a warning under the agent extension lifecycle policy.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 79.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- package.json exposes a CLI and has no npm install lifecycle hook.
- The Codex, Cursor, setup, skills, and uninstall locations concern editor configuration and package-owned skills managed by CLI commands.
- The Antigravity installer writes a watcher script and launchd plist under the user’s home directory; the plist does not run at load, and activation requires a separate command.
- The CLI dispatches installation and uninstall as explicit subcommands; uninstall has a dry-run option.
