Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 12 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Telemetry warning (can be blocked) - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Telemetry - **Selected version:** 1.7.4 - **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 package's documented API-key flows and explicit skill installer appear consistent with its purpose. Server mode also records failed tool-call arguments in its database without a user-facing opt-out, which presents a runtime telemetry risk. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T01:57:41.919Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T01:58:20.730Z - **Download time:** 253 ms - **Static scan time:** 196 ms - **AI review time:** 38361 ms - **Total time:** 38811 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:** Server mode records tool usage and, on failed calls, error details and arguments in a database without a visible opt-out. - **Trigger:** A tool call handled by the server while ASRAI\_INTERNAL\_KEY is set; argument details are recorded when the call returns an error. - **Impact:** User-provided tool arguments may be retained for operational logging. The code truncates arguments and masks fields with secret-like names, but does not disclose a user-facing opt-out. - **Evidence paths:** src/server.js, src/tool-log.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T01:58:20.730Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The handler passes the tool arguments to failInfo, then logToolCall inserts the resulting fields into mcp\_tool\_calls. - **Rationale:** The package's documented API-key flows and explicit skill installer appear consistent with its purpose. Server mode also records failed tool-call arguments in its database without a user-facing opt-out, which presents a runtime telemetry risk. - **Files touched:** mcp\_tool\_calls database table - **Network endpoints:** https://mcp-api.asrai.me, https://apiasr.asrai.me ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** In server mode, each tool call is logged to the mcp\_tool\_calls database table, including failed-call details and arguments., Logging runs after a tool call and only when ASRAI\_INTERNAL\_KEY is set; failed-call arguments are truncated and secret-looking fields are masked., The install-skill command copies the bundled skill files only when explicitly run, and API keys are sent to the package's Asrai service. - **Evidence against:** The package declares no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; its only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly., The stdio bridge sends its API key to the documented Asrai MCP endpoint as part of the stated API-key service., Exchange credentials are sent to the configured Asrai API endpoint for the positions tool. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to asrai-mcp-apikey@1.7.4. - Review the evidence and your use of asrai-mcp-apikey@1.7.4 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.
