The install hook only prunes named bundled dependencies in global installs, while runtime networking serves the package's configured First Tree service and sanitized error telemetry. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-08T12:47:19.795Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-08T12:48:31.723Z - **Download time:** 501 ms - **Static scan time:** 10573 ms - **AI review time:** 60853 ms - **Total time:** 71928 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface. The install hook only prunes named bundled dependencies in global installs, while runtime networking serves the package's configured First Tree service and sanitized error telemetry. - **Trigger:** Global npm installation or explicit CLI runtime use. - **Impact:** No credential harvesting, command-output exfiltration, remote code loading, or broad agent-control mutation confirmed. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/prune-codex-runtime-binary.mjs, scripts/prune-claude-runtime-binary.mjs, scripts/prune-claude-sdk-deps.mjs, dist/connect-token-BAkX646G.mjs, dist/cli/index.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-08T12:48:31.723Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Scoped global dependency pruning and authenticated First Tree API access. - **Rationale:** Scanner exfiltration claims resolve to a Sentry integration that explicitly scrubs sensitive/runtime content before send. The postinstall behavior is bounded to this package's named global dependency tree and does not mutate a foreign or broad AI-agent control surface. - **Files touched:** scripts/prune-codex-runtime-binary.mjs, scripts/prune-claude-runtime-binary.mjs, scripts/prune-claude-sdk-deps.mjs - **Network endpoints:** https://dev.cloud.first-tree.ai, https://5d27fb42311f9f8764ccc38823ee3ff4@o4510502633209856.ingest.us.sentry.io/4511646359486464 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall removes selected transitive SDK packages only for global installs - **Evidence against:** Postinstall scripts skip local installs and source checkouts., Pruning is limited to explicitly named Codex/Claude dependency packages., Telemetry disables default PII and redacts tokens, prompts, stdout/stderr, URLs, and paths., Network requests target the configured First Tree service; no covert receiver or payload execution found. ## Public findings ### 1.
