Installation can add Agent Inspector onboarding skills to existing Claude Code and Codex user directories. This is guarded by directory presence but occurs without an explicit onboarding command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-28T18:05:44.541Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-28T18:06:36.654Z - **Download time:** 754 ms - **Static scan time:** 1004 ms - **AI review time:** 50354 ms - **Total time:** 52113 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation can add Agent Inspector onboarding skills to existing Claude Code and Codex user directories. This is guarded by directory presence but occurs without an explicit onboarding command. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall when ~/.claude and/or ~/.codex exists - **Impact:** Adds package-authored instructions to AI-agent extension surfaces; later use can guide local MCP/proxy setup. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/setup-agent-skills.mjs, src/cli/onboard.ts, src/cli/templates/codex-skill-onboard.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-28T18:06:36.654Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** spawns bundled onboard CLI to create first-party AI-agent skill files - **Rationale:** This is a guarded first-party agent-extension lifecycle mutation, not a confirmed malicious chain. It warrants a warning because it occurs during postinstall without an explicit user onboarding command. - **Files touched:** scripts/setup-agent-skills.mjs, src/cli/onboard.ts, ~/.claude/skills/agent-inspector-onboard/SKILL.md, ~/.claude/commands/agent-inspector:onboard.md, ~/.codex/skills/agent-inspector-onboard/SKILL.md - **Network endpoints:** http://localhost:9527/api/mcp ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs setup-agent-skills.mjs in postinstall., scripts/setup-agent-skills.mjs auto-runs onboard when ~/.claude or ~/.codex exists., src/cli/onboard.ts writes generated skills into Claude and Codex home directories., The generated skill instructs agent/MCP setup and can access captured requests. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall only invokes this package's bundled CLI; no remote payload loading found., Generated Codex skill targets localhost:9527 and says not to read auth/token files., Codex config changes are instructed to require user approval; postinstall writes a skill, not config.toml., No hardcoded external exfiltration endpoint was found in reviewed lifecycle sources. ## Public findings ### 1.
