## Verdict summary
**Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse
- **Selected version:** 0.20.11
- **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 source establishes consented external-agent configuration and tool invocation, which the supplied policy classifies as a warning. No unconsented install-time agent mutation or other concrete malicious chain was identified.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0%

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:** Explicit or consented API chat setup persists MCP configuration in external agents and can invoke agent tools. This warrants a capability warning under the agent policy; no confirmed malicious attack was established.

- **Trigger:** Running apichat with --install-mcp or accepting its interactive MCP installation offer.

- **Impact:** Changes persistent agent capabilities and allows access to the configured API using its project credential.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-30T22:10:05.105Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Registers the project's MCP endpoint through Claude commands or a Codex configuration write, then optionally invokes an agent with a question.

- **Rationale:** The source establishes consented external-agent configuration and tool invocation, which the supplied policy classifies as a warning. No unconsented install-time agent mutation or other concrete malicious chain was identified.

- **Files touched:** .codex/config.toml

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** package.json has no registry install lifecycle hooks or runtime self-dependency., dist/index.js writes an MCP server entry into the user's Codex config.toml., dist/index.js replaces a named Claude MCP registration and can launch Claude with that server's tools allowed., Agent setup requires the explicit installMcp option or an interactive choice offering consent and refusal., Saved installation or refusal preferences suppress later automatic offers; consent does not enable automatic updates., MCP configuration uses the project's data-plane key, omitting it when consumer login authentication applies.

- **Evidence against:** The inspected setup is user-invoked and guarded by consent., The credential belongs to the API proxy being configured; no unrelated credential recipient or covert theft was established.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to apiblaze@0.20.11.

- Review the evidence and your use of apiblaze@0.20.11 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
