## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface. Install-time code only removes unused/bundled SDK components from a global First Tree installation; runtime networking and workspace agent setup are package-aligned CLI functions.

- **Trigger:** npm global install for pruning; explicit first-tree login or daemon start for runtime operations.

- **Impact:** May reduce the package-owned global dependency footprint and create First Tree-managed workspace files after the user starts its daemon.

- **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-CfyQ\_7VQ.mjs, dist/cli/index.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-11T05:09:53.600Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** guarded global dependency pruning and user-invoked First Tree runtime setup

- **Rationale:** Source inspection does not substantiate the scanner's credential-exfiltration or unconsented AI-control-surface claims. The observed sensitive operations are guarded, package-aligned, or require explicit CLI runtime use.

- **Files touched:** scripts/prune-codex-runtime-binary.mjs, scripts/prune-claude-runtime-binary.mjs, scripts/prune-claude-sdk-deps.mjs, dist/connect-token-CfyQ\_7VQ.mjs, dist/cli/index.mjs

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence against:** package.json postinstall only executes three local pruning scripts., Pruning scripts require npm\_config\_global=true and target vendor SDK dependencies., dist/connect-token-CfyQ\_7VQ.mjs sends bearer tokens only to its configured First Tree server URL., Telemetry is opt-in via DSN and sanitizes tokens, credentials, request data, and local paths., Agent skill/briefing writes are runtime workspace projections reached by explicit login/daemon actions.
