Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse - **Selected version:** 0.10.1 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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. Review flagged AI-agent configuration or capability changes. This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-27T04:37:41.628Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-27T04:38:37.124Z - **Download time:** 767 ms - **Static scan time:** 739 ms - **AI review time:** 53989 ms - **Total time:** 55496 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:** An explicit CLI setup action can modify supported AI-agent skill and MCP configuration surfaces. No confirmed automatic attack surface was found. - **Trigger:** A user or automation runs the topolo setup command. - **Impact:** This can extend configured AI-agent capabilities; it is not performed by the install hook. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T04:38:37.124Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The command installs a Topolo skill and registers a local MCP server for selected or detected agent hosts. - **Rationale:** The package does not show an automatic malicious action, but its explicit agent-configuration capability warrants a warning under the agent integration policy. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest exposes a CLI and has a postinstall hook., The postinstall source only writes an onboarding message to standard output., The explicit setup command installs skills and registers a local MCP server for agent hosts., Agent setup writes a formatted skill to the selected agent path. - **Evidence against:** No install-time agent configuration mutation was found; the lifecycle hook only prints text., No concrete credential theft, payload execution, or destructive behavior was identified. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @topolo/cli@0.10.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @topolo/cli@0.10.1 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.
