AI Security Review
scanned 1d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe reviewed execution and write paths serve the package’s audio, skill installation, and scheduling features and are invoked explicitly. Agent observability is configured for the package’s service; no malicious credential flow or automatic persistence was identified.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Explicit speech transcoding, `agency skills install`, or scheduler installation; observability is used by the agent runtime.
Impact
No unauthorized data collection, credential forwarding, or persistence was identified in the reviewed paths.
Mechanism
ffmpeg transcodes audio; skill and launchd configuration are written by explicit command paths; agent observability is configured for statelog.adit.io using its service key.
AI rationale
The reviewed execution and write paths serve the package’s audio, skill installation, and scheduling features and are invoked explicitly. Agent observability is configured for the package’s service; no malicious credential flow or automatic persistence was identified.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 88.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes a library entry point and CLI binary; it declares no lifecycle hooks.
- The ffmpeg helper probes for ffmpeg and runs it to transcode speech audio into requested formats.
- Skill installation requires an explicit target flag and is performed by the `agency skills install` command.
- Launchd persistence is created through an explicit scheduler backend install operation.
- The flagged agent code configures observability for the agency-lang service using STATELOG_API_KEY.
