## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface. Scheduling, OAuth, subprocess, and network-related behavior is package functionality activated by explicit CLI or runtime use.

- **Trigger:** User invokes Agency CLI/runtime features.

- **Impact:** No unconsented install-time execution, credential exfiltration, or foreign AI-agent control-surface mutation found.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/scripts/agency.js, dist/lib/cli/schedule/backends/launchd.js, dist/lib/stdlib/oauth.js, dist/lib/runtime/ipc.js, dist/lib/optimize/workspace.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-15T23:22:46.258Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Explicit language-agent tooling, OAuth, and optional scheduling.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found no lifecycle hook or concrete malicious chain; flagged primitives are explicit, package-aligned language-agent features.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 97.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** No npm preinstall/install/postinstall lifecycle hook is declared., Launchd persistence is reachable only through the explicit \`agency schedule add\` CLI command., OAuth networking uses caller-supplied endpoints, requires HTTPS except local development, and validates OAuth state.
