AI Security Review
scanned 20d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged assistant configuration and persistence behavior is tied to explicit commands or separate manual activation. The inspected source does not establish malicious behavior.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user invokes setup, install, skills, or uninstall; activating the generated Antigravity watcher requires a separate manual command.
Impact
The inspected behavior establishes local integration setup and cleanup, but no confirmed harmful effect.
Mechanism
The package writes configuration for detected local assistant directories and removes managed entries during uninstall. Its Antigravity plist has RunAtLoad disabled.
AI rationale
The package has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged assistant configuration and persistence behavior is tied to explicit commands or separate manual activation. The inspected source does not establish malicious behavior.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and setup, install, and uninstall run through named CLI subcommands.
- Agent integration targets local Claude, Codex, and Cursor directories; bundled skills go to detected CLIs, and the transcript helper looks up a specified session file.
- Org skills are fetched from the configured Cortex API only when a stored token is available, as part of the package’s agent integration.
- Uninstall is an explicit command with a dry-run option and filters managed configuration entries.
- The Antigravity adapter writes a watcher script and plist with RunAtLoad disabled; its output says a separate launchctl load is needed to activate the watcher.
