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 source configures the bundled agent to send observability events to a hosted endpoint when STATELOG\_API\_KEY is available, and those events can include branch values. This is undisclosed runtime telemetry that may carry user or project data, so it warrants a warning. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T06:40:08.550Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T06:41:31.347Z - **Download time:** 1283 ms - **Static scan time:** 10005 ms - **AI review time:** 71509 ms - **Total time:** 82797 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:** The bundled agent can send observability events, including branch values, to statelog.adit.io. - **Trigger:** Running the bundled agent when STATELOG\_API\_KEY is set. - **Impact:** Agent output and related user or project data may leave the machine without clear disclosure or a visible opt-out in this configuration. - **Evidence paths:** dist/lib/agents/agency-agent/lib/outputCap.js, dist/lib/statelogClient.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T06:41:31.347Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Observability is enabled in the agent configuration; the Statelog client posts event data to /api/logs using the configured key. - **Rationale:** The source configures the bundled agent to send observability events to a hosted endpoint when STATELOG\_API\_KEY is available, and those events can include branch values. This is undisclosed runtime telemetry that may carry user or project data, so it warrants a warning. - **Files touched:** log.jsonl - **Network endpoints:** https://statelog.adit.io/api/logs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The bundled agent enables observability and configures statelog.adit.io with STATELOG\_API\_KEY., Statelog events include fork branch values, which can contain agent output or user/project data., When a Statelog API key is present, the client posts its event body to the configured host. - **Evidence against:** Remote logging requires STATELOG\_API\_KEY to be present., The flagged skills and LSP configuration writes are invoked through explicit CLI commands., The ffmpeg subprocess is used for media transcoding and writes a temporary output file that is removed afterward. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to agency-lang@0.34.0. - Review the evidence and your use of agency-lang@0.34.0 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
