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 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-14T21:55:46.619Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-14T21:56:36.971Z - **Download time:** 1518 ms - **Static scan time:** 1632 ms - **AI review time:** 47201 ms - **Total time:** 50352 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Explicit \`tsci init\` can download and install TSCircuit AI skills into project-local Claude and Codex-style skill directories. No install-time execution or unconsented broad agent-control mutation was found. - **Trigger:** User runs \`tsci init\` (or supplies \`--yes\`). - **Impact:** Adds remotely fetched skill files that can influence compatible AI agents in that project. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, cli/entrypoint.js, dist/cli/main.js, dist/cli/build/build.worker.js, dist/cli/snapshot/snapshot.worker.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-14T21:56:36.971Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Project-scoped remote AI-skill provisioning - **Rationale:** The package has no install lifecycle hook, but its explicit initialization command provisions remote AI-agent skills into recognized project directories. Policy classifies this as a warn-level agent capability risk, not a publish-block chain. - **Files touched:** .claude/skills/tscircuit, .agents/skills/tscircuit - **Network endpoints:** https://api.github.com/repos/tscircuit/skill/contents ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** \`tsci init\` provisions skills under \`.claude\` and \`.agents\`., It fetches repository content and writes it into those skill directories., The behavior is reached by the explicit \`init\` command and prompts unless \`--yes\` is used. - **Evidence against:** No npm preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook is declared., The CLI entrypoint only selects a local runner and launches its bundled main CLI., Agent-skill setup is project-scoped and same-vendor, not a broad foreign control-surface mutation. ## Public findings ### 1.
