## Verdict summary
**Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse
- **Selected version:** 2.0.2535
- **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.

Source establishes an explicit-user-command AI-agent control-surface mutation and remote extension bootstrap. No install lifecycle hook, credential theft, or direct exfiltration was found.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0%
- **Started:** 2026-08-09T06:31:12.458Z

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:** An explicit CLI invocation modifies project and user AI-agent instruction surfaces, then launches a spool daemon whose output is designated as controlling instruction. It can fetch additional skill content and a native runner at runtime.

- **Trigger:** User runs gm-plugkit (default/spool command) or calls ensureReady().

- **Impact:** Agents may be redirected from user tasks to package-controlled imperative instructions across projects and agent homes.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, cli.js, bootstrap.js, bootstrap-shared.js, SKILL.md

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T06:32:03.624Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** AI-agent instruction injection plus remote bootstrap and daemon launch.

- **Rationale:** Source establishes an explicit-user-command AI-agent control-surface mutation and remote extension bootstrap. No install lifecycle hook, credential theft, or direct exfiltration was found.

- **Files touched:** CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .gm/next-step.md, .gm/instructions/, ~/.agents/skills/\<skill\>/SKILL.md, ~/.claude/skills/\<skill\>/SKILL.md, ~/.gm-tools/agentplug-runner

- **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/AnEntrypoint/plugkit-bin/releases/download/, https://api.github.com/repos/AnEntrypoint/agentplug-bin/releases/latest, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AnEntrypoint/gm/main/skills/

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** bootstrap.js: ensureReady() runs project wiring and skill refresh., bootstrap-shared.js writes/edits CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md to load .gm instructions., bootstrap.js installs SKILL.md files into ~/.agents and ~/.claude., SKILL.md directs agents to replace normal exits with daemon-supplied instructions., bootstrap.js fetches missing skills and native runner releases from GitHub at runtime., cli.js runs this path on explicit gm-plugkit invocation and starts the fetched runner.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., No credential harvesting or direct exfiltration is present in inspected JS.
