This report does not record a matching static-policy override reason. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. No confirmed automatic attack surface was established. Inspected external requests are runtime agent features rather than installation behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-05T08:44:06.256Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-05T08:46:58.881Z - **Download time:** 257 ms - **Static scan time:** 8944 ms - **AI review time:** 163423 ms - **Total time:** 172625 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:** No confirmed automatic attack surface was established. Inspected external requests are runtime agent features rather than installation behavior. - **Trigger:** Explicitly starting or using the agent's configured runtime features. - **Impact:** No unsolicited credential collection, exfiltration, or install-time mutation was confirmed. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-05T08:46:58.881Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-invoked agent service calls. - **Rationale:** The package has no registry-install lifecycle hook, and the flagged code is consistent with an explicitly run AI-agent application and bundled utilities. Its broad runtime capabilities warrant normal operational caution, but static inspection found no concrete malicious delivery or exfiltration chain. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Final policy explanation:** The AI recommended clean, but the final policy action is warn. This report does not record a matching static-policy override reason. - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The runtime image-edit feature posts its generated request body to an external image API using a configured key., The main entry point starts the engine only after loading command-line configuration., The init template can create a launcher that resolves a local or global engine7 installation., The bundled brainstorming server defaults to a loopback bind and contains a static branding image URL., The bundled graph renderer invokes Graphviz on diagram content supplied through its command-line workflow., The manifest's only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly, not an install-time hook. - **Evidence against:** No preinstall, install, or postinstall script is present., No inspected source path showed automatic credential harvesting or an unsolicited remote receiver., The flagged template files are a local companion server and a user-run Graphviz renderer, not install-time payloads. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to engine7@7.1.68. - Review the evidence and your use of engine7@7.1.68 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.
