AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged configuration writes and Antigravity artifacts are part of explicit setup or install flows, and the adapter does not activate its launch agent. The reviewed network behavior uses the configured service base for the package’s Cortex integration; no unrelated collection or attack behavior was identified.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
The user runs `setup` or `install`; the Antigravity adapter writes artifacts when its `wire()` function is called.
Impact
No unauthorized collection, account action, or active persistence was identified.
Mechanism
The adapter writes a sync script and launchd plist, but does not load the agent. Runtime release settings use the configured service base and bearer token.
AI rationale
The flagged configuration writes and Antigravity artifacts are part of explicit setup or install flows, and the adapter does not activate its launch agent. The reviewed network behavior uses the configured service base for the package’s Cortex integration; no unrelated collection or attack behavior was identified.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package describes itself as connecting AI assistants to the user’s Cortex projects and activity.
- The launcher reaches setup only when the user runs the `setup` command.
- The Antigravity adapter says it does not load the launch agent; its artifacts are written by `wire()`.
- The release gate sends a bearer token to the supplied service base to fetch release settings.
