AI Security Review
scanned 25d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection found no npm lifecycle execution or confirmed malicious behavior. The Antigravity adapter’s launch-agent setup is a guarded platform persistence capability, so a warning is appropriate.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user invokes the package’s install command and selects or detects Antigravity; activating the watcher requires a separate launch command.
Impact
If activated, the watcher can run the sync script when the watched application data changes. The inspected source does not establish covert activation or malicious data transfer.
Mechanism
The adapter writes a launch-agent plist and sync script. The script references a local development checkout, and the adapter reports that the watcher is not fully wired.
AI rationale
Source inspection found no npm lifecycle execution or confirmed malicious behavior. The Antigravity adapter’s launch-agent setup is a guarded platform persistence capability, so a warning is appropriate.
Evidence
lib/editors/antigravity.mjs
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 83.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The manifest defines no npm install lifecycle hook; its scripts are release, promotion, and rollback commands.
- The CLI reaches setup through an explicit setup command, while install is also a CLI command.
- The Antigravity adapter writes a launch agent file and a sync script under the user’s home directory.
- The adapter says the watcher requires a separate launch command and that its sync depends on a local development checkout.
- Capture obtains its token from the environment or the machine’s existing MCP configuration.
Evidence against
- The package’s editor setup and configuration writes are reached through CLI commands rather than npm installation.
- The Antigravity watcher is not activated by the adapter itself; its documented manual activation is a separate step.
- The uninstall path supports a dry run and is scoped to removing package-managed configuration.
