## 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:** 0.21.17
- **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.

Agent configuration is a first-party, user-invoked capability with a confirm prompt or an explicit flag, and install hooks are absent. That is a guarded agent-config write, so it is a warning rather than a publish block or an unmarked clean package.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-26T00:08:44.495Z

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 CLI can register an APIblaze MCP server in Claude Code or Codex and can write a project Claude skill, only after an explicit command or an interactive confirm. npm install does not run that path.

- **Trigger:** User runs apiblaze create (confirm), apichat --install-mcp, or skill --install.

- **Impact:** The chosen agent gains an APIblaze MCP endpoint or a project skill. Foreign MCP entries with the same name are refused. No install-time hijack.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-26T00:09:42.276Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** spawnSync invokes the claude CLI mcp add/remove, or the tool rewrites the named block in ~/.codex/config.toml, or writes SKILL.md under the project .claude/skills directory.

- **Rationale:** Agent configuration is a first-party, user-invoked capability with a confirm prompt or an explicit flag, and install hooks are absent. That is a guarded agent-config write, so it is a warning rather than a publish block or an unmarked clean package.

- **Files touched:** .codex/config.toml, .claude/skills/ship-safely/SKILL.md

- **Network endpoints:** https://mcp.apiblaze.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 82.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** User-run CLI calls claude mcp add or remove and writes ~/.codex/config.toml for an APIblaze MCP entry., Interactive create asks before connecting Claude or Codex; --install-mcp is an explicit flag., skill --install writes .claude/skills under the current project only when --install is passed., package.json has build and prepublishOnly scripts and no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.

- **Evidence against:** Existing Claude or Codex MCP entries that are not APIblaze proxies are left untouched., Network defaults stay on apiblaze.com product hosts., No eval, self-dependency, or install-time agent config write.

## Affected versions and remediation
