On npm install, the package automatically detects local AI-agent installations and adds its bundled skills to their shared or vendor-specific skills directories. This changes agent behavior without an explicit setup command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-11T14:46:15.939Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-11T14:46:51.964Z - **Download time:** 253 ms - **Static scan time:** 322 ms - **AI review time:** 35448 ms - **Total time:** 36025 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** On npm install, the package automatically detects local AI-agent installations and adds its bundled skills to their shared or vendor-specific skills directories. This changes agent behavior without an explicit setup command. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** Detected agents may automatically route creative requests through FocalAPI after restart. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.cjs, dist/cli.js, skills/focalapi/SKILL.md, skills/focalapi-gen/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-11T14:46:51.964Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** automatic third-party AI-agent skill installation - **Rationale:** This is an unconsented install-time mutation of AI-agent extension directories, but the payload is a visible first-party integration and no concrete malicious exfiltration or execution chain was found. It warrants a warning rather than a block under the lifecycle policy. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.cjs, dist/cli.js, skills/focalapi/SKILL.md, skills/focalapi-gen/SKILL.md, ~/.agents/skills/focalapi-\*, ~/.claude/skills/focalapi-\*, ~/.gemini/skills/focalapi-\* - **Network endpoints:** https://api.focalapi.com, https://registry.npmjs.org/focalapi-cli/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs postinstall automatically., scripts/postinstall.cjs invokes \`connect install\` without user confirmation., dist/cli.js detects installed third-party AI agents and writes focalapi skills into their home skills directories., Bundled skills direct agents to invoke focalapi for image/video requests even when not named. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall executes only the bundled CLI and makes no network request., Skills copied are package-owned \`focalapi-\*\` content with a manifest and digest checks., No DNS lookup, eval, remote code loading, or unrelated credential harvesting found., API-key use is confined to user-invoked FocalAPI requests; default host is api.focalapi.com. ## Public findings ### 1.
