Global installation prunes named bundled Codex/Claude SDK packages. The CLI also runs enabled, sanitized Sentry error telemetry and can manage first-tree skills in supported agent roots after runtime activation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-09T13:16:16.412Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-09T13:17:47.464Z - **Download time:** 1025 ms - **Static scan time:** 11185 ms - **AI review time:** 78840 ms - **Total time:** 91052 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Global installation prunes named bundled Codex/Claude SDK packages. The CLI also runs enabled, sanitized Sentry error telemetry and can manage first-tree skills in supported agent roots after runtime activation. - **Trigger:** npm install -g; subsequently, user-invoked First Tree CLI/daemon runtime actions. - **Impact:** May remove named globally installed SDK components; runtime can modify First Tree-managed skills under agent provider roots. - **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-DSbnd9Dc.mjs, dist/cli/index.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T13:17:47.464Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** global dependency pruning plus guarded agent-extension lifecycle management - **Rationale:** Source does not show malicious exfiltration, remote payload execution, or unconsented broad AI-agent control-surface mutation. Flag as warn because postinstall performs recursive global dependency deletion and the package operates agent-extension roots. - **Files touched:** scripts/prune-codex-runtime-binary.mjs, scripts/prune-claude-runtime-binary.mjs, scripts/prune-claude-sdk-deps.mjs, .agents/skills, .claude/skills - **Network endpoints:** https://5d27fb42311f9f8764ccc38823ee3ff4@o4510502633209856.ingest.us.sentry.io/4511646359486464 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** package.json runs postinstall scripts., Prune scripts recursively delete SDK platform/peer packages during global installs., dist/connect-token-DSbnd9Dc.mjs embeds and enables a Sentry DSN for CLI runtime telemetry., CLI runtime manages provider skill roots including .agents/skills and .claude/skills. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall checks npm\_config\_global and targets named SDK packages only., Prune scripts fail safely and provide opt-out environment variables., Telemetry sanitizes tokens, secrets, prompt/tool output, paths, requests, and breadcrumbs., Agent-skill writes are runtime/CLI functionality with validated, workspace-contained target paths. ## Public findings ### 1.
