AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged editor configuration and persistence behavior is tied to explicit setup or installation commands. The Antigravity adapter documents that its watcher is not loaded automatically, and the reviewed server uses the configured Cortex service and token.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
The MCP server runs when invoked as the CLI default; configuration writes require an explicit `setup` or `install` command, and the Antigravity watcher requires a separate load command.
Impact
The reviewed behavior configures the user's AI editors and can enable a Cortex sync watcher after manual activation; no malicious behavior was identified.
Mechanism
The CLI configures supported editors to use the Cortex MCP server. Optional Antigravity setup writes a local sync script and launchd plist.
AI rationale
The flagged editor configuration and persistence behavior is tied to explicit setup or installation commands. The Antigravity adapter documents that its watcher is not loaded automatically, and the reviewed server uses the configured Cortex service and token.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest defines a CLI binary and no install, preinstall, or postinstall lifecycle scripts.
- Setup and installation behavior is dispatched only for explicit `setup` or `install` commands.
- The Antigravity adapter writes a sync script and launchd plist but does not activate the watcher; activation requires a separate `launchctl load` command.
- The MCP server resolves its token and service base from configuration for the advertised Cortex integration.
