## Verdict summary
**Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk
- **Selected version:** 1.0.4
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

Automatic postinstall copies first-party FocalAPI skills into detected third-party agent skill directories, which is unconsented install-time agent extension rather than secret theft or remote code. Scanner DNS and credential-redirect labels do not match the source: the dummy focalapi.invalid origin is path validation, and API keys are sent only on user-invoked auth to api.focalapi.com.

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:** npm postinstall runs focalapi connect install and copies first-party FocalAPI skills into detected third-party agent skill directories under the user home folder. Those skills can steer creative tasks to this CLI without a separate connect command.

- **Trigger:** npm install running the postinstall script, or a later focalapi connect install command.

- **Impact:** Installed agents may start routing image and video work through FocalAPI after install, without changing the agent's primary model provider.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-17T19:27:32.693Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** unattended first-party skill drop into foreign agent skill directories

- **Rationale:** Automatic postinstall copies first-party FocalAPI skills into detected third-party agent skill directories, which is unconsented install-time agent extension rather than secret theft or remote code. Scanner DNS and credential-redirect labels do not match the source: the dummy focalapi.invalid origin is path validation, and API keys are sent only on user-invoked auth to api.focalapi.com.

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

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 86.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** package.json postinstall runs scripts/postinstall.cjs on npm install., postinstall spawns dist/cli.js connect install --json, which copies bundled focalapi-\* skills into every detected agent skills directory., The install catalog targets many third-party agents under the user home directory, including Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor., Bundled skills tell those agents to send creative work through FocalAPI even when the user does not name it.

- **Evidence against:** Writes are limited to namespaced focalapi-\* skill folders plus a package-owned manifest; uninstall keeps user-modified skills., postinstall does not read API keys, change agent providers, or call the network; CI and FOCALAPI\_SKIP\_POSTINSTALL=1 skip it., HTTP is to api.focalapi.com and the npm registry; https://focalapi.invalid is a dummy origin for path checks, not DNS exfiltration., auth login is a user command that stores keys in ~/.focalapi/config.json after checking them against the package API., No eval, remote payload execution, or runtime self-dependency install chain.

## Affected versions and remediation
