## 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:** 1.9.0
- **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 not malicious install-time behavior, but it provides an explicit command that alters AI-agent configuration to export sensitive telemetry with permissive defaults. It warrants a warning under the agent-control policy.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0%
- **Started:** 2026-08-09T00:04:32.737Z
- **Finished:** 2026-08-09T00:05:23.699Z

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 LLM telemetry; prompts are included by default. Explicit plugin installation can also enable auto-update for Tsuga's Claude marketplace.

- **Trigger:** User runs tsuga setup claude-code, tsuga setup codex, or tsuga install plugin ...

- **Impact:** Configured agent sessions may send prompts, and Claude tool content, to the supplied OTLP endpoint.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T00:05:23.699Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** user-invoked AI-agent telemetry and plugin configuration mutation

- **Rationale:** This is not malicious install-time behavior, but it provides an explicit command that alters AI-agent configuration to export sensitive telemetry with permissive defaults. It warrants a warning under the agent-control policy.

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

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.tsuga.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 95.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** dist/cli.js: setup claude-code writes OTEL telemetry settings, including prompt and tool-content logging by default., dist/cli.js: setup codex replaces ~/.codex/config.toml \[otel\] configuration with an endpoint and bearer key., dist/cli.js: explicit install plugin commands invoke Claude/Codex CLIs and patch Claude marketplace auto-update., README.md documents these commands and that prompts are included unless opted out.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., AI-agent configuration changes occur only through explicit setup/install subcommands., The endpoint and ingestion key are mandatory user arguments or environment values., No hidden payload, eval, credential harvesting, or import-time execution was found.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @tsuga/cli@1.9.0.

- Review the evidence and your use of @tsuga/cli@1.9.0 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.
