This is an install-time destructive capability, but no credential theft or foreign agent-control configuration mutation is confirmed. - **Trigger:** npm install -g first-tree-staging - **Impact:** Can remove resolved SDK platform or peer packages from the global dependency tree. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/prune-codex-runtime-binary.mjs, scripts/prune-claude-runtime-binary.mjs, scripts/prune-claude-sdk-deps.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-14T02:42:02.728Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** global-install dependency pruning via recursive rmSync - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms a global-install postinstall that recursively deletes named dependency directories. The package does not substantiate the scanner's claimed credential redirection or foreign AI-agent-control overwrite, but the lifecycle deletion warrants a warning. - **Files touched:** node\_modules/@openai/codex-\*, node\_modules/@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk-\*, node\_modules/@anthropic-ai/sdk, node\_modules/@modelcontextprotocol/sdk ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** postinstall executes three package-local pruning scripts., The Codex pruning script recursively deletes resolved @openai/codex platform packages., The Claude SDK pruning script recursively deletes two separately installed peer packages. - **Evidence against:** Deletion is gated to npm global installs and skips ordinary local installs., Scripts target named SDK dependency packages and document an opt-out environment variable., No source-confirmed credential collection, exfiltration endpoint, remote payload execution, or AI-agent config overwrite was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
