## 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:** 2.0.2557
- **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 modifies project and AI-agent instruction surfaces, downloads a native runner, and starts it detached. The runner and remotely refreshed skills can influence subsequent agent behavior.

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

- **Impact:** Project guidance and global agent skill files may be changed; remotely supplied executable and skill content gains control over the spool workflow.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T13:22:17.504Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Remote agent-extension provisioning and detached native daemon execution.

- **Rationale:** This is not an install-time malware chain, but its explicit CLI path provisions broad agent-control surfaces and executes remotely downloaded native code. The package warrants a warning for dangerous AI-agent capability abuse.

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

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 98.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for:** bootstrap.js: ensureReady modifies project .gm, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, and .npmignore., bootstrap.js: ensureSkillMdFresh writes skill files under ~/.agents and ~/.claude., bootstrap.js downloads a platform-specific agentplug-runner and executes it as a detached spool daemon., bootstrap.js fetches remote skill names/content from GitHub, then installs them into agent skill directories., Bundled SKILL.md directs agents to use the daemon and follow returned instructions.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or other lifecycle hook., Side effects require explicit CLI/runtime invocation; index.js only exports functions., No credential harvesting or source-level data exfiltration was found.
