AgenticROS - agentic AI for ROS-powered robots. Single CLI to launch real-robot or simulated demos, manage configuration, and inspect status.

AI Security Review

scanned 22d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Source supports a warning for first-party agent extension setup and persistent tool permission changes. Explicit command activation, installation confirmation, and absent npm install hooks do not support a malware block.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

Running agenticros init; extension installation additionally requires confirmation.

Impact

The gateway can load replaced extension code and expose additional AgenticROS tools to its agent.

Mechanism

The installer copies extension code into OpenClaw, while init adds manifest tool identifiers to tools.alsoAllow when configuration and a manifest exist.

AI rationale

Evidence

dist/index.jsdist/commands/init.jsdist/util/openclaw-config.jsruntime/scripts/setup_gateway_plugin.sh~/.openclaw/openclaw.json~/.openclaw/extensions/agenticros

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 93.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The explicit init command prompts before running the OpenClaw plugin installer.
The installer replaces the deployed AgenticROS extension code in OpenClaw.
Init synchronizes manifest tools into OpenClaw tools.alsoAllow, independently of the plugin installation answer, and persists added permissions.
package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.

Evidence against

Plugin installation requires confirmation during an explicit CLI command.
The inspected extension replacement targets AgenticROS, rather than unrelated plugins.

2 * Bridge from the CLI to the AgenticROS MCP server's `ros2_discover_robots` tool.

4 * Rather than re-implement live-topic discovery in the CLI (which would

5 * force `@agenticros/core` and its transport deps into the published

7 * (`packages/agenticros-claude-code/dist/index.js`) and JSON-RPC the

8 * `ros2_discover_robots` tool — the exact code path Claude Code uses.

9 * This keeps the CLI light AND ensures the CLI sees the same robots

10 * the agent sees.

11 *

12 * Resilience: the spawn-and-rpc dance is wrapped in an overall timeout

13 * so a hung Zenoh router or a malformed reply can't lock up the CLI.

14 * The stderr stream is drained silently — the MCP server emits a

15 * connection banner that isn't useful for the CLI consumer.
