AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no install hook, and the reviewed persistence and agent-configuration writes are part of the package's explicit editor setup flow. The Antigravity launch agent is not loaded by the adapter and is configured with RunAtLoad disabled.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
Editor wiring occurs when a user invokes setup or install.
Impact
No malicious or unwanted automatic behavior was identified in the reviewed paths.
Mechanism
The Antigravity adapter writes a sync script and plist, but does not load the launch agent, and the plist disables RunAtLoad.
AI rationale
The manifest has no install hook, and the reviewed persistence and agent-configuration writes are part of the package's explicit editor setup flow. The Antigravity launch agent is not loaded by the adapter and is configured with RunAtLoad disabled.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest declares a CLI entry point and no install lifecycle scripts.
- The CLI runs setup and cross-editor install only when those commands are requested.
- The Antigravity adapter writes its sync artifacts without loading the launch agent; its plist has RunAtLoad disabled.
Evidence against
- The package writes AI editor configuration and creates launch-agent files, but the reviewed paths tie these actions to explicit setup or install commands.
- The sync script is described as depending on a local development checkout, limiting the flagged persistence behavior's usefulness.
