Chemical X Protocol: Private drop-in architecture starter kit and capsule generator
AI Security Review
scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection found package-owned agent guidance written only during explicit scaffolding, so this warrants a warning under the agent extension setup policy. No install-time attack, credential theft, or other confirmed malicious behavior was established.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The user invokes the create command and chooses a target directory.
Impact
The generated project receives agent-related guidance; source inspection did not establish a broader agent control-surface attack.
Mechanism
The scaffold writes blueprint files and adds .cursorrules only if that file does not already exist.
AI rationale
Source inspection found package-owned agent guidance written only during explicit scaffolding, so this warrants a warning under the agent extension setup policy. No install-time attack, credential theft, or other confirmed malicious behavior was established.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package exposes a CLI entry point and has no install lifecycle hook in its manifest.
- Scaffolding runs only when the create command is invoked, and targets the selected project directory.
- The scaffold adds a first-party .cursorrules file when one is absent, giving the project-level agent guidance; this warrants a warning as package-owned agent setup.
- The other inspected process and network behavior is limited to opening a browser and validating a supplied license key.
Evidence against
- The scaffold refuses to write into an existing nonempty target directory.
- The inspected license validation sends the supplied key and a device identifier to the configured gatekeeper; no credential harvesting or code execution was established.
