## 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:** 7.7.7
- **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 has no automatic npm lifecycle trigger or confirmed credential theft. Its explicit agent setup writes AI-agent control files and fetches remote skills, which is a real but user-invoked capability risk under the stated policy.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-12T17:42:19.532Z
- **Finished:** 2026-09-12T17:43:21.030Z
- **Download time:** 505 ms
- **Static scan time:** 1132 ms
- **AI review time:** 59860 ms
- **Total time:** 61498 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:** Running the CLI with selected AI agents writes agent-control files and imports remote skill content into the destination project. It also emits opt-out telemetry during CLI use.

- **Trigger:** A user runs create-zuplo-api and selects agents or supplies --agents.

- **Impact:** A selected destination project can receive MCP and agent instruction files plus remotely fetched skills; this extends an AI coding agent's project context.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-12T17:43:21.030Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** User-directed AI-agent configuration, remote skill download, and telemetry submission.

- **Rationale:** The package has no automatic npm lifecycle trigger or confirmed credential theft. Its explicit agent setup writes AI-agent control files and fetches remote skills, which is a real but user-invoked capability risk under the stated policy.

- **Files touched:** .mcp.json, .claude/settings.json, CLAUDE.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md, .cursorrules, .windsurfrules, AGENTS.md, .agents/skills/\*/SKILL.md

- **Network endpoints:** codeload.github.com, dev.zuplo.com, app.posthog.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 86.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** The user-invoked CLI can write MCP and AI-agent instruction files into the newly created project., When AI agents are selected, it downloads skills from a GitHub tarball and installs them into agent-specific project folders., The CLI sends invocation telemetry to PostHog unless the user sets its opt-out environment variable., It can run the selected package manager to install dependencies in the new project.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., The agent configuration is selected through the CLI's --agents option or interactive prompt, rather than during package installation., The telemetry payload contains generated and package-manager usage data, not harvested environment values or files., The child-process use is for normal project dependency installation and optional Git initialization.

## Affected versions and remediation
