## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface. Install-time behavior is globally scoped dependency pruning; network authentication requires an explicit CLI login.

- **Trigger:** Global npm installation or explicit \`login \<code\>\` command.

- **Impact:** May remove declared SDK packages from this package's global installation; login sends its supplied code to the selected server.

- **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-BE3D-fgU.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-12T14:13:02.883Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Global-install SDK footprint pruning and user-invoked token exchange.

- **Rationale:** Direct inspection does not substantiate the scanner's claimed credential redirection or foreign-package overwrite. The detected sensitive operations are scoped to the package's global install or explicit CLI actions.

- **Files touched:** scripts/prune-codex-runtime-binary.mjs, scripts/prune-claude-runtime-binary.mjs, scripts/prune-claude-sdk-deps.mjs

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 86.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for:** postinstall executes three pruning scripts., CLI login posts a user-provided connect code to the configured First Tree server.

- **Evidence against:** Pruning exits unless npm marks the install global., No install-time network, credential harvesting, or agent-control-surface write was found., Login endpoint is reached only by the explicit login command.
