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:** 0.3.480 - **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 inspected code exposes requested agent configuration mutation, which falls under the warning policy rather than an install-time blocking rule. The core caller was inspected, but its citation could not be issued because the file exceeds the tool's 16 MiB verification limit. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 83.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-30T19:34:49.349Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-30T19:37:50.087Z - **Download time:** 5906 ms - **Static scan time:** 2675 ms - **AI review time:** 172156 ms - **Total time:** 180738 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:** Requested agent tools can register executable MCP server configurations and install agent skills. This warrants a capability warning; no confirmed malicious attack was established. - **Trigger:** An explicit agent tool operation requesting skill installation or MCP server registration. - **Impact:** Requested changes can alter the tools and instructions available to an AI agent. - **Evidence paths:** dist/mcp.cjs, dist/core.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-30T19:37:50.087Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The tool handler passes supplied server settings to platform configuration writers; skill helpers write files into the selected agent scope. - **Rationale:** The inspected code exposes requested agent configuration mutation, which falls under the warning policy rather than an install-time blocking rule. The core caller was inspected, but its citation could not be issued because the file exceeds the tool's 16 MiB verification limit. - **Files touched:** .claude.json, config.toml ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 83.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Agent integration code resolves machine-scoped skills under the user's agent platform directory., Agent configuration helpers write MCP server commands, arguments and environment settings into .claude.json., dist/core.cjs routes an explicit tool operation to injectMcpServer and returns the registered server name; this exposes agent configuration mutation through a requested operation. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install or postinstall hook and no runtime self-dependency., Inspected behavior supports a requested agent integration capability, without concrete evidence of covert installation, credential theft or malicious intent. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @whalent/agent@0.3.480. - Review the evidence and your use of @whalent/agent@0.3.480 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.
