AI Security Review
scanned 25d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no npm install lifecycle hook, and the persistence behavior is behind an explicit installer command. The Antigravity LaunchAgents setup is a guarded agent integration that merits a warning under the agent extension policy.
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 Antigravity detected.
Impact
The integration can enable recurring local synchronization when the launch agent is loaded, so this guarded setup capability warrants a warning.
Mechanism
The adapter writes a sync script and launch agent plist in the user's home directory; the inspected adapter does not load the agent immediately.
AI rationale
The manifest has no npm install lifecycle hook, and the persistence behavior is behind an explicit installer command. The Antigravity LaunchAgents setup is a guarded agent integration that merits a warning under the agent extension policy.
Evidence
lib/editors/antigravity.mjs
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 84.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- package.json lists release, promote, and rollback scripts, with no npm lifecycle hook.
- The explicit `install` command routes to the cross-editor installer; setup is also an explicit CLI command.
- Antigravity wiring writes a sync script and a LaunchAgents plist under the user's home directory, creating a platform persistence capability.
- Codex and Cursor adapters require a token before wiring their Cortex MCP configuration.
- The package provides managed agent skills and an uninstall command that removes its own wiring; the working-files helper locates Claude transcripts.
Evidence against
- The manifest defines no preinstall, install, or postinstall script, so package installation alone does not trigger the inspected integrations.
- Antigravity wiring is reached through the explicit install command; its source says it writes artifacts without loading the launch agent immediately.
