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. LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. Installation can automatically add this package's onboarding skills when existing Claude or Codex directories are detected. No install-time network or secret-exfiltration behavior was confirmed in the inspected setup path. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-14T06:58:13.561Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-14T06:59:05.743Z - **Download time:** 768 ms - **Static scan time:** 756 ms - **AI review time:** 50656 ms - **Total time:** 52182 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:** Installation can automatically add this package's onboarding skills when existing Claude or Codex directories are detected. No install-time network or secret-exfiltration behavior was confirmed in the inspected setup path. - **Trigger:** npm installation on a system with an existing Claude or Codex home directory. - **Impact:** Changes agent extension configuration without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/setup-agent-skills.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-14T06:59:05.743Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall invokes bundled onboarding to add agent skills. - **Rationale:** The package automatically mutates detected AI-agent extension areas during postinstall, creating a real lifecycle risk. The inspected code does not establish a malicious chain such as exfiltration, remote payload execution, broad foreign configuration mutation, or self-dependent lifecycle recursion. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude, ~/.codex ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The postinstall hook automatically runs the agent-skill setup script., The setup detects existing Claude and Codex home directories and invokes the bundled CLI without user interaction., The invoked onboarding command installs package-owned skills for detected agent tools. - **Evidence against:** No self-dependency is declared., The inspected install script has no network request, credential collection, or command-output upload., The onboarding invocation is guarded by detected agent directories and has opt-out environment variables. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @tonyclaw/agent-inspector@4.0.32. - Review the evidence and your use of @tonyclaw/agent-inspector@4.0.32 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.
