AI Security Review
scanned 18d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no npm install lifecycle hook, and the flagged editor configuration and watcher setup are user-invoked product behavior. The inspected network and capture paths are consistent with the package’s stated service functionality; no concrete attack behavior was found.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user runs the setup or install subcommand; Antigravity syncing begins only after separately loading its generated plist.
Impact
No unauthorized installation-time mutation, credential transfer to an unrelated recipient, or active persistence was established.
Mechanism
The package writes its own editor configuration and skills. Its default API host is the package service, and capture code describes sending a derived session digest.
AI rationale
The manifest has no npm install lifecycle hook, and the flagged editor configuration and watcher setup are user-invoked product behavior. The inspected network and capture paths are consistent with the package’s stated service functionality; no concrete attack behavior was found.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json defines a CLI and release-related scripts; it has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- The launcher reaches setup, install, and uninstall through explicit subcommands. The Antigravity watcher requires a separate activation command.
- The inspected editor integrations write their own MCP configuration, skills, or session-scoped files; uninstall is an explicit command that removes package wiring.
- The Antigravity installer writes a watcher file and plist, but the plist does not run at load and the CLI says manual activation is required; the generated sync also depends on a local checkout.
- The default API host is agnoclast.com, and capture source describes sending a derived digest rather than a transcript.
