first-tree-staging@0.5.19-staging.1075.1
First Tree — unified CLI for Context Tree onboarding, agent management, and team messaging. (Source-tree dev build; CI rewrites `name` and `bin` for prod / staging publishes — see docs/local-dev-isolation.md.)
AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe scanner's exfiltration claim is not supported by inspected source: the large shared bundle implements the CLI, token exchange, and opt-in sanitized telemetry. The only install-time mutation is explicitly guarded global-install pruning of named dependencies, not a foreign or broad AI-agent control-surface write.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Explicit CLI commands; postinstall only for global installation
Impact
May remove bundled Codex/Claude SDK components from First Tree's own global dependency tree; no exfiltration or foreign agent-control mutation established.
Mechanism
Global-install pruning of named bundled SDK dependencies

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 90.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json has a postinstall hook.
- Lifecycle scripts can remove selected SDK packages during global installs.
Evidence against
- postinstall scripts require npm_config_global=true and target only named Codex/Claude SDK packages.
- No lifecycle script reads credentials, makes network requests, or alters agent configuration.
- dist/cli/index.mjs runs only as the declared CLI entrypoint and calls program.parse().
- The flagged bundle's connect-token code exchanges an explicitly supplied token with the selected First Tree server.
- Sentry is disabled without a DSN and sanitizes tokens, runtime content, paths, request data, and breadcrumbs before sending.
- No source-backed credential or command-output exfiltration to a package-controlled endpoint was found.
