AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged Antigravity persistence files are written only through the user-run install command without activating the LaunchAgent. Runtime session metadata goes to the configured Cortex service under the user’s bearer token, matching the package’s stated activity-sync purpose.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
User-run setup or install, followed by assistant server startup and session heartbeats.
Impact
No malicious impact identified. Session and project metadata is sent to the package’s stated Cortex service as part of its activity feature.
Mechanism
Setup writes assistant configuration; the server sends session metadata to the configured Cortex API. The Antigravity adapter writes a sync script and LaunchAgent plist but does not activate the agent.
AI rationale
The package has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged Antigravity persistence files are written only through the user-run install command without activating the LaunchAgent. Runtime session metadata goes to the configured Cortex service under the user’s bearer token, matching the package’s stated activity-sync purpose.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 95.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest has no install lifecycle hooks; its declared scripts are release, promote, and rollback.
- The Antigravity LaunchAgent files are written through the explicit install adapter, which does not activate the agent.
- The server sends session metadata to the Cortex API using the configured base and bearer token, consistent with the package’s stated activity and context features.
- Setup is an onboarding path that wires the MCP server and capture hook into assistant configuration.
Evidence against
- The session ping includes the working directory and repository metadata, so it does transmit project details during normal server operation.
- The Antigravity adapter writes files under the user’s home directory when selected by install.
