It downloads and executes vendor scripts for Claude and uv, and globally installs an MCP server. No confirmed credential theft, hidden payload, or default foreign AI-client configuration takeover was found. - **Trigger:** npm install executes the package postinstall hook - **Impact:** executes vendor-controlled installers and changes the user environment during install - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall-guard.cjs, dist/bin/postinstall.js, dist/lib/mcp/unified-config.js, dist/lib/mcp/skills-symlinks.js, dist/src/agent/jwc-runtime.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-11T00:14:04.188Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** unprompted remote-script execution and global dependency installation - **Rationale:** This is a concrete, risky install-time behavior chain but not evidence of malicious intent or an unconsented broad AI-agent control-surface takeover. Warn because normal installation executes remote vendor scripts and installs global tooling without an interactive prompt. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall-guard.cjs, dist/bin/postinstall.js, dist/lib/mcp/unified-config.js, ~/.cli-jaw/, ~/.cli-jaw/mcp.json, ~/.cli-jaw/skills/, ~/.cli-jaw/uploads/ - **Network endpoints:** https://claude.ai/install.sh, https://claude.ai/install.ps1, https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh, https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** \`package.json\` runs \`scripts/postinstall-guard.cjs\` on install., \`dist/bin/postinstall.js\` downloads and executes Claude’s installer by default unless skipped., Postinstall installs \`@upstash/context7-mcp\` globally unless \`CLI\_JAW\_SKIP\_MCP\_SERVERS\` is set., Postinstall downloads and executes Astral uv installer unless \`CLI\_JAW\_SKIP\_SKILL\_DEPS\` is set. - **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting or exfiltration logic found in inspected lifecycle files., Remote installer URLs are explicit vendor endpoints, not concealed package-owned hosts., Shared AI-agent skill paths are gated by \`CLI\_JAW\_MIGRATE\_SHARED\_PATHS\`; default path is isolated., \`initMcpConfig\` writes only \`~/.cli-jaw/mcp.json\`; postinstall does not call cross-client sync., Dynamic JWC SDK import occurs only during user-invoked JWC runtime use. ## Public findings ### 1.
