gm-plugkit@2.0.2481
Bootstrap and daemon-spawn tool for gm plugkit binary. Downloads the correct platform wasm, verifies SHA256, and launches agentplug-runner (the native wasm host) as the spool watcher daemon.
AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource establishes broad AI-agent configuration mutation and remote executable deployment after CLI invocation. The absence of lifecycle scripts makes a publish block under the stated policy disproportionate.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
User or agent runs gm-plugkit CLI (for example, its documented bun/npx bootstrap command).
Impact
Can broadly steer future Claude/Codex-style agent behavior and execute subsequently downloaded native code.
Mechanism
Remote skill deployment, project instruction wiring, executable download, and detached daemon launch.
AI rationale
Source establishes broad AI-agent configuration mutation and remote executable deployment after CLI invocation. The absence of lifecycle scripts makes a publish block under the stated policy disproportionate.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 94.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- bootstrap.js:624-704 overwrites ~/.agents/skills/* and ~/.claude/skills/*, with remote skill discovery.
- bootstrap.js:798-849 runs project wiring and skill refresh on each CLI bootstrap.
- bootstrap-shared.js:254-292 creates/edits CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md to load .gm instructions.
- SKILL.md directs agents to persist, avoid final responses, and use package-controlled tooling.
- bootstrap.js:931-962 downloads and installs an executable, then startSpoolDaemon runs it detached.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare lifecycle hook.
- index.js only exports functions; effects require CLI invocation or an explicit API call.
- Downloaded runner and wasm paths use SHA-256 checks, though trust remains vendor-controlled.
