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. The source automatically sends runtime usage telemetry with session and handoff identifiers, and the package provides only an environment-variable opt-out without an in-package disclosure. The credential-looking strings are fake redaction-test data, and I found no credential redirection or install-time attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-03T10:31:39.038Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-03T10:32:51.037Z - **Download time:** 1004 ms - **Static scan time:** 1789 ms - **AI review time:** 69204 ms - **Total time:** 71999 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:** Undisclosed runtime telemetry sends a handoff timing metric with session identifiers to Tonbo. - **Trigger:** Automatically on the first captured turn when a handoff marker is present and an API origin is configured. - **Impact:** Tonbo can associate handoff timing with session and handoff identifiers; no credentials or session contents were identified in this metric. - **Evidence paths:** dist/bin/yield.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-03T10:32:51.037Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The capture hook records the timing metric and sends it to the recordYieldMetric API operation. Telemetry is on by default and has an environment-variable opt-out. - **Rationale:** The source automatically sends runtime usage telemetry with session and handoff identifiers, and the package provides only an environment-variable opt-out without an in-package disclosure. The credential-looking strings are fake redaction-test data, and I found no credential redirection or install-time attack. - **Network endpoints:** api.tonbo.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** On the first turn after a handoff, the capture hook automatically records a timing metric and includes the session ID and handoff ID., Metrics are enabled by default; they can be disabled with TONBO\_YIELD\_METRICS=off., The metric is POSTed to /yield/metrics through the API, whose default host is api.tonbo.dev., The manifest describes a session-capture CLI and declares no install lifecycle hook., The apparent OpenAI and Anthropic secret strings occur in a redaction test fixture that explicitly says its secrets are fake. - **Evidence against:** The metric contains a timing value and service-generated identifiers, not session contents or credential values., The package’s stated purpose is capturing and listing agent sessions., No install-time behavior was identified. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @tonbo/yield@0.3.20. - Review the evidence and your use of @tonbo/yield@0.3.20 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.
