AI Security Review
scanned 20h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package includes a shipped agent that reports runtime exception messages to its configured statelog service, with no consent check visible in the reporting path. This is a telemetry concern rather than evidence of credential theft or unrelated data collection.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
The announce agent runs and catches an exception.
Impact
Error text may include identifying project or user context, creating undisclosed runtime telemetry risk.
Mechanism
Its catch handler calls the statelog client's error method with the exception message and function name; no consent check is visible in this path.
AI rationale
The package includes a shipped agent that reports runtime exception messages to its configured statelog service, with no consent check visible in the reporting path. This is a telemetry concern rather than evidence of credential theft or unrelated data collection.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 83.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The shipped announce agent configures observability to send data to https://statelog.adit.io, while its LLM provider keys are configured separately for the agent's model services.
- When announce throws, it sends the exception message to the statelog client as a runtimeError; this path shows no consent check or opt-out.
Evidence against
- The manifest points to a normal library entry and CLI, and its scripts section shows development and test commands rather than install hooks.
- Skill installation requires the user to choose an explicit destination.
- The launchd backend writes and loads a scheduled job only through its install method, consistent with an explicit scheduling feature.
- The ffmpeg helper transcodes audio to a temporary file and removes it afterward.
