Installation can automatically add first-party Agent Inspector onboarding skills to existing Claude/Codex homes. The installed skills later guide explicit setup of a local MCP/proxy that captures model traffic; no direct exfiltration path was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-28T18:14:08.436Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-28T18:15:14.446Z - **Download time:** 515 ms - **Static scan time:** 1487 ms - **AI review time:** 64006 ms - **Total time:** 66010 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation can automatically add first-party Agent Inspector onboarding skills to existing Claude/Codex homes. The installed skills later guide explicit setup of a local MCP/proxy that captures model traffic; no direct exfiltration path was found. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall when ~/.claude or ~/.codex exists - **Impact:** Unconsented extension of AI-agent skill surfaces; later configuration changes are guided but user-confirmed. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/setup-agent-skills.mjs, src/cli/onboard.ts, src/cli/templates/codex-skill-onboard.ts, src/cli/templates/skill-onboard.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-28T18:15:14.446Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** automatic first-party AI-agent onboarding skill installation - **Rationale:** Direct source review confirms an install-time write to foreign AI-agent skill directories, which warrants warning under policy. No concrete credential theft, remote payload execution, destructive action, or external exfiltration was found. - **Files touched:** package.json, 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:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json postinstall runs setup-agent-skills.mjs., scripts/setup-agent-skills.mjs invokes onboard automatically when ~/.claude or ~/.codex exists., src/cli/onboard.ts writes generated skills under Claude/Codex user directories., The generated Codex skill directs configuration of a local Inspector MCP endpoint. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall writes only package-named onboarding skills; it does not add an MCP config entry by default., src/cli/onboard.ts creates other agent MCP config plans only for explicit --opencode/--mimo flags., Codex template requires asking before changing ~/.codex/config.toml and prohibits reading auth/token files., Lifecycle scripts contain no network request, credential harvesting, remote payload retrieval, or shell execution beyond its bundled CLI. ## Public findings ### 1.
