## Verdict summary
**Soft block: AI-agent control surface** — Warn by default; block when configured. Foreign AI-agent control surfaces are modified without consent, potentially steering future agent actions and API use.

- **Verdict:** AI-agent control-surface policy finding
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn by default; block when configured
- **Firewall policy:** Warn by default
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface
- **Selected version:** 1.0.0
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This finding concerns changes to an AI agent's instructions or configuration without explicit user action. It does not by itself establish malware intent. The CLI warns by default and blocks when configured for this policy.

AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. On installation, the package modifies detected skills directories for a broad set of third-party AI agents. It installs instructions that route creative requests to FocalAPI without an explicit user request.

The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** On installation, the package modifies detected skills directories for a broad set of third-party AI agents. It installs instructions that route creative requests to FocalAPI without an explicit user request.

- **Trigger:** npm installation triggers postinstall.

- **Impact:** Foreign AI-agent control surfaces are modified without consent, potentially steering future agent actions and API use.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.cjs, dist/cli.js, skills/focalapi/SKILL.md

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-17T03:46:57.281Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Automatic broad AI-agent skills installation and behavioral routing.

- **Attack narrative:** Installing the package automatically invokes its connect installer. The installer detects a wide range of AI-agent installations under the user's home directory, copies bundled skill files into their skills folders, and can replace existing package-managed skill directories. Those skills instruct agents to route creative requests through FocalAPI even when the user did not request that service. This is an unconsented postinstall mutation of a broad foreign AI-agent control surface.

- **Rationale:** The package has a concrete automatic postinstall chain that modifies multiple third-party AI-agent skills directories and changes future agent routing. This meets the install-control-surface blocking policy regardless of the absence of direct postinstall network activity.

- **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.cjs, dist/cli.js, skills/focalapi/SKILL.md, ~/.claude/skills, ~/.agents/skills, ~/.cursor/skills

- **Network endpoints:** api.focalapi.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 98.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for policy risk:** The package runs a postinstall hook automatically., The hook launches the CLI connect installer without asking the user., The installer targets detected skills folders for many unrelated AI agents., The installer copies bundled skills into those folders and replaces existing same-named skill directories., The installed primary skill directs agents to use FocalAPI for creative requests even when the user did not name it.

- **Evidence against:** The postinstall script does not itself make a network request or read an API key., The hook can be skipped through an environment variable or CI detection.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to focalapi-cli@1.0.0.

- Avoid installing focalapi-cli@1.0.0. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies.
- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.
- If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment.
