## Verdict summary
**Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk
- **Selected version:** 1.42.0
- **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.

The source shows an explicit user-command agent integration with default automatic updates, which warrants a capability warning under the agent integration policy. Package metadata shows no npm install lifecycle hook.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** The CLI can install a Tsuga plugin into Claude Code and configure it for automatic updates. No automatic install-time attack was identified.

- **Trigger:** A user runs the Tsuga plugin installation command for Claude Code.

- **Impact:** A user-approved agent extension may update automatically after installation; no confirmed malicious payload or unconsented install-time mutation was found.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-28T07:53:32.080Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The command invokes the Claude plugin CLI and, unless disabled, modifies the user's Claude settings to enable updates.

- **Rationale:** The source shows an explicit user-command agent integration with default automatic updates, which warrants a capability warning under the agent integration policy. Package metadata shows no npm install lifecycle hook.

- **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** The package exposes a CLI entrypoint and has no registry install lifecycle script in its scripts section., An explicit Claude Code plugin-install command adds the Tsuga marketplace and installs its plugin., That command enables automatic updates by default and can patch the user's Claude settings file.

- **Evidence against:** No automatic npm install hook was found., The agent integration is reached through an explicit CLI install command.
