Explicit setup can install a first-party OpenClaw extension and enable its ROS-control tools. Explicit MCP setup can register a local stdio server with AI-agent clients. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-11T17:30:57.838Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-11T17:32:13.044Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 2740 ms - **AI review time:** 71959 ms - **Total time:** 75206 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Explicit setup can install a first-party OpenClaw extension and enable its ROS-control tools. Explicit MCP setup can register a local stdio server with AI-agent clients. - **Trigger:** User runs \`agenticros init\` and confirms plugin setup, or runs an MCP setup command. - **Impact:** An opted-in AI-agent host can gain the package's ROS control, camera, and memory capabilities. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/commands/init.js, dist/util/openclaw-config.js, dist/util/mcp-setup.js, runtime/scripts/setup\_gateway\_plugin.sh, runtime/packages/agenticros/openclaw.plugin.json, runtime/packages/robot-eyes/src/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-11T17:32:13.044Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** First-party agent-extension deployment and ROS robot-control capability registration - **Rationale:** This is not malicious: there are no npm lifecycle hooks or covert execution/exfiltration paths. It warrants a warning because it deliberately installs a persistent first-party AI-agent extension with robot-control capabilities. - **Files touched:** ~/.agenticros/plugin-deploy, ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json, ~/.codex/config.toml, ~/.mcp.json - **Network endpoints:** https://cloud.agenticros.com, wss://cloud.agenticros.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** \`dist/commands/init.js\` can deploy and register the AgenticROS OpenClaw plugin after an interactive confirmation., \`dist/util/openclaw-config.js\` appends AgenticROS tool IDs to OpenClaw \`tools.alsoAllow\`., \`dist/util/mcp-setup.js\` writes AgenticROS MCP entries for Codex, Claude, and Hermes., The bundled plugin exposes ROS publish, service, action, parameter, teleop, and memory tools. - **Evidence against:** \`package.json\` has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., All examined configuration and process actions are reached through explicit CLI commands or the interactive \`init\` flow., \`runtime/packages/robot-eyes/src/index.js\` binds its HTTP/WebSocket server to 127.0.0.1., The bundled tgz contains readable plugin source and metadata, not an opaque executable payload., No credential harvesting, silent exfiltration, remote payload loading, or reviewer-directed content was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
