AI Security Review
scanned 16d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed configuration and agent file operations are reached through explicit CLI commands. The scanner’s persistence and agent-configuration findings correspond to setup or editor wiring, including an Antigravity watcher that requires manual activation.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user runs the setup, install, or uninstall command; the normal server starts when no subcommand is supplied.
Impact
No confirmed unauthorized configuration mutation, credential export, or active persistence was established.
Mechanism
Setup adds Cortex-specific configuration and skills to detected agent directories. Uninstall removes managed entries. Antigravity wiring writes a script and launch agent file, but requires a separate manual activation step.
AI rationale
The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed configuration and agent file operations are reached through explicit CLI commands. The scanner’s persistence and agent-configuration findings correspond to setup or editor wiring, including an Antigravity watcher that requires manual activation.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 86.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json defines no install lifecycle hook; its scripts are release, promotion, and rollback commands.
- The CLI dispatches setup and uninstall as named commands, and setup requires a caller-supplied token.
- The editor adapters write Cortex-specific configuration entries; skills are installed into detected agent directories during setup.
- Antigravity wiring writes a script and launch agent file, while its source directs the user to load the watcher manually.
- Transcript lookup reads a session-specific file from Claude’s projects directory.
- The default CLI path starts the MCP server.
