AI Security Review
scanned 1d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package automatically sends limited installation and runtime telemetry to its own service when its MCP server connects. The source describes the report, but no opt-out is apparent in the inspected code, so this warrants a warning; no unrelated credential exfiltration or other attack behavior was identified.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Automatically after the MCP server handshake, at most once per version, with up to three attempts.
Impact
Exposes basic installation and runtime metadata to the package’s service. No unrelated credential or file collection was identified; the inspected source does not show an opt-out.
Mechanism
Posts the install ID, platform, architecture, package version, and Node version to the configured BuildPartner API; includes the BuildPartner account token when available.
AI rationale
The package automatically sends limited installation and runtime telemetry to its own service when its MCP server connects. The source describes the report, but no opt-out is apparent in the inspected code, so this warrants a warning; no unrelated credential exfiltration or other attack behavior was identified.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- When the MCP server connects, it reports an install event to the configured BuildPartner API, including a saved install ID, platform, architecture, package version, and Node version.
- The report runs after the server handshake and is sent once per version, with up to three attempts when offline.
- No install lifecycle hook is declared; the CLI dispatches only explicit commands.
Evidence against
- API requests use BuildPartner’s default service host, or a base URL configured by the user.
- The inspected report contains runtime and install identifiers, not environment values, credentials from other services, or file contents.
