## 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:** 2.0.2539
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. An explicit gm-plugkit bootstrap installs or refreshes agent skills, edits project agent instruction files, downloads a native runner, and starts a spool daemon. This is a first-party agent-extension control surface, not install-time execution.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** An explicit gm-plugkit bootstrap installs or refreshes agent skills, edits project agent instruction files, downloads a native runner, and starts a spool daemon. This is a first-party agent-extension control surface, not install-time execution.

- **Trigger:** User runs the gm-plugkit CLI or calls ensureReady.

- **Impact:** Can persist vendor-controlled instructions in user agent skill directories and project AI-agent configuration, then execute a downloaded daemon.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T08:12:59.242Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Remote skill/native-runner bootstrap plus agent configuration mutation

- **Rationale:** This is a concrete, user-triggered first-party AI-agent extension bootstrap with broad instruction/config mutation and remote executable loading. It does not meet the policy threshold for malicious blocking because it is not an unconsented install-time mutation.

- **Files touched:** ~/.agents/skills/\<skillName\>/SKILL.md, ~/.claude/skills/\<skillName\>/SKILL.md, \<project\>/CLAUDE.md, \<project\>/AGENTS.md, \<project\>/.gm/, ~/.gm-tools/agentplug-runner

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.github.com/repos/AnEntrypoint/agentplug-bin/releases/latest, https://github.com/AnEntrypoint/agentplug-bin/releases/download/${tag}, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AnEntrypoint/gm/main/skills/${skillName}/SKILL.md, https://registry.npmjs.org/gm-plugkit/latest

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 93.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** bootstrap.js refreshes skills into ~/.agents and ~/.claude., bootstrap-shared.js alters project CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md., bootstrap.js fetches remote skills and native runner, then starts a daemon., SKILL.md contains imperative agent-control instructions.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., Activation is through the explicit CLI/import bootstrap path., WASM and runner downloads are SHA-256 checked., No credential harvesting or exfiltration found.
