## 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:** 2.0.2551
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

Review flagged AI-agent configuration or capability changes. This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** An explicit gm-plugkit CLI invocation provisions project and user-level AI-agent instruction/skill files, then starts a downloaded native spool daemon. This is a real agent-control capability but not an install-time mutation.

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

- **Impact:** Can alter Claude/agent instruction loading and execute a vendor-downloaded runner.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T11:25:50.887Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** remote skill provisioning plus native daemon bootstrap

- **Rationale:** The package has a concrete explicit-user-command agent configuration and daemon capability, warranting a warning. It does not meet the block threshold because no preinstall/install/postinstall hook performs unconsented broad control-surface mutation.

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

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** bootstrap.js: ensureReady rewrites project agent-instruction files on normal CLI use., bootstrap-shared.js prepends CLAUDE.md and appends AGENTS.md to load .gm/next-step.md., bootstrap.js fetches remote skill Markdown and writes it under ~/.agents/skills and ~/.claude/skills., bootstrap.js downloads and executes a native agentplug-runner daemon.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., CLI execution is required; importing index.js only exports functions., Downloaded wasm/native artifacts are SHA-256 checked before installation., No source evidence of credential harvesting or outbound exfiltration.
