Postinstall can add Agent Inspector onboarding skills to existing Claude Code and Codex user directories. This is a guarded first-party extension setup, but it occurs without an interactive consent prompt. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-28T18:08:10.801Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-28T18:08:49.471Z - **Download time:** 768 ms - **Static scan time:** 1073 ms - **AI review time:** 36828 ms - **Total time:** 38670 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Postinstall can add Agent Inspector onboarding skills to existing Claude Code and Codex user directories. This is a guarded first-party extension setup, but it occurs without an interactive consent prompt. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall when ~/.claude or ~/.codex exists, or an explicit install environment flag is set. - **Impact:** Adds package-authored instructions to AI-agent skill discovery paths; no source-confirmed exfiltration or remote payload execution. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/setup-agent-skills.mjs, src/cli/onboard.ts, scripts/setup-windows-runtime.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-28T18:08:49.471Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** silent creation or update of Agent Inspector onboarding skill files - **Rationale:** This is a real unprompted AI-agent extension lifecycle mutation, but it is package-owned, guarded by tool-home presence, and lacks a concrete malicious chain. Warn rather than block under the install-control-surface policy. - **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 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **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 detects existing ~/.claude or ~/.codex and silently invokes onboard., src/cli/onboard.ts writes package-generated skills into Claude/Codex directories during that install path. - **Evidence against:** The lifecycle path has no network request or credential collection., The postinstall invokes the packaged CLI only; no remote payload or eval loader was found., Generated Codex guidance asks users before config.toml changes; automatic setup writes skills, not MCP config., scripts/setup-windows-runtime.mjs only creates a package-local branded runtime on Windows. ## Public findings ### 1.
