agency-lang@0.17.1
The Agency language
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged primitives implement explicit CLI features and include relevant containment or validation. The manifest has no lifecycle hook that would activate them during installation.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user explicitly invokes a relevant Agency CLI command.
Impact
No unconsented persistence, credential exfiltration, or install-time mutation was established.
Mechanism
User-invoked language runtime and development tooling.
AI rationale
The flagged primitives implement explicit CLI features and include relevant containment or validation. The manifest has no lifecycle hook that would activate them during installation.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest has no install lifecycle hook; it exposes a CLI entrypoint.
- Child execution runs compiled user input with the shell disabled.
- Workspace writeback verifies each source hash before changing it.
- Subprocess files are confined to a package temporary directory.
- OAuth requires HTTPS except for local development callbacks.
- Agent setup and scheduling are explicit CLI subcommands.
Evidence against
- No install-time, import-time, or self-dependency attack chain was found.
- No secret harvesting or unconsented network exfiltration was found.
- Persistence-related behavior is reachable through explicit scheduling commands only.
