Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Postinstall mutates several project AI-agent MCP configs by default, with only an environment opt-out, and registers this package's own local MCP servers. That is first-party agent extension setup on an install hook, gated to declaring projects, without a hidden foreign payload or credential export. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-26T06:20:51.758Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-26T06:21:56.952Z - **Download time:** 772 ms - **Static scan time:** 2285 ms - **AI review time:** 62137 ms - **Total time:** 65194 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** On npm install, postinstall writes this package's own MCP server entries into several project-scoped AI-agent config files unless an environment opt-out is set. The entries start local ThreeNative shims. A later missing-dependency path can fetch a pinned package with npx. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall after a consumer project that declares @threenative/core is installed, unless THREENATIVE\_SKIP\_MCP\_SETUP is 1 or true. - **Impact:** Agent hosts that read those project files can start the package's asset, sculpt, engine, and Blender tools without a separate setup command. Existing conflicting server entries are not replaced, and machine-wide configs are not written. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, scripts/ensure-mcp.mjs, mcp/install.mjs, mcp/servers.mjs, mcp/launch.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-26T06:21:56.952Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** ensure-mcp.mjs calls install.mjs, which creates or updates .mcp.json, .codex/config.toml, .cursor/mcp.json, .vscode/mcp.json, .gemini/settings.json, opencode.json, and .zed/settings.json with node commands for the package MCP shims. - **Rationale:** Postinstall mutates several project AI-agent MCP configs by default, with only an environment opt-out, and registers this package's own local MCP servers. That is first-party agent extension setup on an install hook, gated to declaring projects, without a hidden foreign payload or credential export. - **Files touched:** .mcp.json, .codex/config.toml, .cursor/mcp.json, .vscode/mcp.json, .gemini/settings.json, opencode.json, .zed/settings.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** npm postinstall runs scripts/postinstall.mjs, which applies a Three.js patch and then calls MCP setup., MCP setup runs by default and stops only when THREENATIVE\_SKIP\_MCP\_SETUP is 1 or true., It writes project-scoped agent configs for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Gemini CLI, opencode, and Zed., Missing server entries are added with writeFileSync; existing same-named entries that differ are left in place., Registered servers are local node shims under node\_modules/@threenative/core/mcp., Writes occur only for a consumer project whose package.json declares @threenative/core, not for nested installs or this package itself., If a shim is later started and its dependency is missing, launch.mjs runs npx --yes on a pinned package name and version. - **Evidence against:** Install skips node\_modules paths and projects that do not declare this package., Configs are project files, not machine-wide agent settings, and unreadable JSON is left unchanged., No install-time network call, credential read, or foreign command was found., The npx fallback runs only when an MCP server is started and the local package is absent. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @threenative/core@0.3.3. - Review the evidence and your use of @threenative/core@0.3.3 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
