AI Security Review
scanned 16d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package has no npm install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed agent configuration changes are reached through explicit CLI commands. No concrete malicious behavior was established in the inspected source.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user runs setup, install, or uninstall; Antigravity activation additionally requires a manual launchctl command.
Impact
The source does not establish unconsented installation-time mutation, credential disclosure, or other concrete attack behavior.
Mechanism
Setup and install wire this package into detected agent configurations. Uninstall removes managed wiring. The Antigravity adapter writes a watcher script and plist but does not load the watcher.
AI rationale
The package has no npm install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed agent configuration changes are reached through explicit CLI commands. No concrete malicious behavior was established in the inspected source.
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 preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; its scripts are release, promote, and rollback.
- The CLI invokes setup and install only for those explicit subcommands, and setup requires a supplied token.
- The editor adapters write their configuration as part of setup or install; Antigravity's watcher requires a separate manual launchctl load.
- The uninstall command is explicitly dispatched and removes this package's managed entries; transcript lookup is limited to the current session ID.
- The inspected source shows no confirmed attack behavior or recipient for credential theft.
