Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 15 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed. - **Verdict:** Clean - **Product-default install policy:** Allow - **Firewall policy:** No policy match - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** None published - **Selected version:** 0.37.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-03T18:07:03.932Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-03T18:07:56.788Z - **Download time:** 4075 ms - **Static scan time:** 10003 ms - **AI review time:** 38777 ms - **Total time:** 52856 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:** No attack was identified. Reviewed process execution, skill and agent configuration writes, scheduler persistence, and telemetry were consistent with package features and require user action or feature use. - **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. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-03T18:07:56.788Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **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. - **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. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/lib/stdlib/ffmpeg.js, dist/lib/cli/skills.js, dist/lib/cli/schedule/backends/launchd.js, dist/lib/agents/agency-agent/lib/outputCap.js - **Network endpoints:** https://statelog.adit.io ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to agency-lang@0.37.0. - Review the evidence and your use of agency-lang@0.37.0 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.
