AI Security Review
scanned 25d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected files show an explicitly invoked assistant integration and package-owned setup or cleanup behavior, with no npm install lifecycle hook or concrete malicious behavior established. The flagged persistence and agent configuration behavior is consistent with the package’s setup and uninstall functions.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user invokes the package CLI’s setup, install, or uninstall command.
Impact
These actions configure the package’s assistant integration. No confirmed credential theft, unrelated configuration mutation, or other attack surface was established.
Mechanism
The CLI writes editor configuration and managed skills; the Antigravity adapter can generate a launchd sync agent. The inspected manifest declares no npm install lifecycle hook.
AI rationale
The inspected files show an explicitly invoked assistant integration and package-owned setup or cleanup behavior, with no npm install lifecycle hook or concrete malicious behavior established. The flagged persistence and agent configuration behavior is consistent with the package’s setup and uninstall functions.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 85.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json exposes a CLI and lists only release, promote, and rollback scripts; no install lifecycle hook is declared.
- Codex and Cursor configuration is wired through editor adapters that detect whether those editors are present.
- Setup presents itself as an onboarding action; the CLI dispatches uninstall to a separate command.
- Antigravity integration creates a launchd sync agent, but it is part of explicit setup rather than an npm install hook.
- The shared token resolver is used by setup and capture; no evidence inspected shows credentials sent to an unrelated recipient.
- Uninstall’s package behavior is invoked through the CLI and handles package-owned configuration.
