Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk - **Selected version:** 1.0.0 - **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The unprompted install-time changes to existing agent configurations create a real lifecycle risk. The inspected runtime’s local storage and standard input/output behavior do not establish credential theft or remote data exfiltration. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-24T18:08:52.547Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-24T18:09:40.817Z - **Download time:** 518 ms - **Static scan time:** 75 ms - **AI review time:** 47677 ms - **Total time:** 48270 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 install hook automatically changes detected per-user AI-agent configuration to register this package’s MCP server. This creates a lifecycle setup risk, while the inspected runtime shows local context storage and no confirmed remote transfer. - **Trigger:** Installing the package runs its postinstall hook. - **Impact:** Future agent sessions may load the added server and receive its mandatory context-saving instructions. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-24T18:09:40.817Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook adds an MCP entry to agent configurations when the configuration or its parent directory exists, then writes the updated file. - **Rationale:** The unprompted install-time changes to existing agent configurations create a real lifecycle risk. The inspected runtime’s local storage and standard input/output behavior do not establish credential theft or remote data exfiltration. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/index.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The install lifecycle automatically runs the package’s postinstall script., The hook adds the package’s MCP entry to existing per-user agent configuration locations and writes the updated configuration., The MCP server gives connected agents mandatory instructions to load and frequently save shared context., The runtime stores shared context in a file under the user’s home directory and connects over standard input and output; no outbound transfer was identified in the inspected runtime. - **Evidence against:** The setup registers this package’s own shared-context MCP server, and the inspected runtime uses local storage and standard input/output rather than an identified remote endpoint. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to agent-nervous-system-mcp@1.0.0. - Review the evidence and your use of agent-nervous-system-mcp@1.0.0 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.
