## 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:** 1.8.0
- **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.

This is an explicit-user-command AI-agent configuration and telemetry-export capability, not an unconsented install-time persistence chain. It warrants a warning because prompts/content can be exported by default.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0%
- **Started:** 2026-08-09T00:02:17.073Z
- **Finished:** 2026-08-09T00:03:15.112Z
- **Download time:** 765 ms
- **Static scan time:** 1250 ms
- **AI review time:** 56023 ms
- **Total time:** 58039 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:** Explicit setup commands configure Claude Code or Codex to export OTEL telemetry, including prompts by default. No install-time or automatic configuration mutation was found.

- **Trigger:** User runs \`tsuga setup claude-code\` or \`tsuga setup codex\` with endpoint and ingestion-key options.

- **Impact:** User prompts and, for Claude Code, tool details/content may be sent to the configured telemetry service.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T00:03:15.112Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Writes agent telemetry configuration that exports configured content to a supplied OTEL endpoint.

- **Rationale:** This is an explicit-user-command AI-agent configuration and telemetry-export capability, not an unconsented install-time persistence chain. It warrants a warning because prompts/content can be exported by default.

- **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.codex/config.toml

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.tsuga.com, https://registry.npmjs.org/@tsuga/cli/latest

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 93.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** dist/cli.js exposes explicit \`setup claude-code\` and \`setup codex\` commands., Those commands write OTEL settings to Claude/Codex configs; prompt/tool-content logging defaults enabled., Configured telemetry uses a user-supplied endpoint and ingestion key.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., Config mutation is only reached through named user CLI commands., Source creates backups before replacing existing config content.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @tsuga/cli@1.8.0.

- Review the evidence and your use of @tsuga/cli@1.8.0 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.
