The user-invoked First Tree runtime can install managed skills and briefing files into its workspace's AI-agent discovery paths. This is a guarded agent-extension lifecycle, not install-time control-surface mutation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-11T02:15:41.590Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-11T02:16:59.580Z - **Download time:** 501 ms - **Static scan time:** 13525 ms - **AI review time:** 63962 ms - **Total time:** 77990 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The user-invoked First Tree runtime can install managed skills and briefing files into its workspace's AI-agent discovery paths. This is a guarded agent-extension lifecycle, not install-time control-surface mutation. - **Trigger:** User runs the First Tree CLI/client runtime and starts or resumes an agent session. - **Impact:** Configured agent sessions may load First Tree-managed instructions/skills. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/prune-codex-runtime-binary.mjs, scripts/prune-claude-runtime-binary.mjs, scripts/prune-claude-sdk-deps.mjs, dist/cli/index.mjs, dist/connect-token-Bvv7ro7s.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-11T02:16:59.580Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Server-configured managed-skill projection into workspace provider paths. - **Rationale:** The malicious scanner label is not supported by the inspected lifecycle chain: no install-time credential exfiltration or broad foreign agent-control write was found. The package does provide a real, guarded AI-agent extension lifecycle, so it warrants a warning rather than a block. - **Files touched:** \/.agents/skills/\, \/.claude/skills/\, \/AGENTS.md, \/CLAUDE.md - **Network endpoints:** https://dev.cloud.first-tree.ai, https://5d27fb42311f9f8764ccc38823ee3ff4@o4510502633209856.ingest.us.sentry.io/4511646359486464 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** dist/connect-token-Bvv7ro7s.mjs reconciles server-provided skills into provider discovery roots., It writes AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md in its managed workspace for Codex/Claude sessions., CLI imports this bundle, so the behavior is reachable after an explicit CLI/runtime action. - **Evidence against:** package.json postinstall only runs three pruning scripts; none imports the CLI bundle., Postinstall pruning is global-install-only and targets named SDK runtime/dependency packages., Managed-skill targets are allowlisted to workspace-relative provider skill paths and use ownership/journal checks., No source evidence of credential harvesting or unrelated exfiltration was found., Network defaults are First Tree service endpoints; Sentry context is sanitized. ## Public findings ### 1.
