## 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:** 2.0.2560
- **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 CLI run provisions project AI-agent wiring, refreshes global agent skill files, and starts a downloaded native spool daemon. Remote skill content can be written into global AI-agent control paths without a package-pinned trust anchor.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** An explicit gm-plugkit CLI run provisions project AI-agent wiring, refreshes global agent skill files, and starts a downloaded native spool daemon. Remote skill content can be written into global AI-agent control paths without a package-pinned trust anchor.

- **Trigger:** User runs gm-plugkit (for example via bun x/npx) or calls bootstrap/ensureReady.

- **Impact:** Remote repository content can alter future Claude/agent instructions; a downloaded native runner then processes project spool work.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T13:46:41.662Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Remote skill provisioning plus downloaded native runner execution.

- **Rationale:** Source confirms a user-invoked global AI-agent extension installer and native payload bootstrapper. No lifecycle hook establishes the policy threshold for a publish block.

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

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.github.com/repos/AnEntrypoint/gm/contents/skills?ref=main, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AnEntrypoint/gm/main/skills/\<skill\>/SKILL.md, https://api.github.com/repos/AnEntrypoint/agentplug-bin/releases/latest, https://github.com/AnEntrypoint/agentplug-bin/releases/download/\<tag\>/\<asset\>

### 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 global ~/.agents and ~/.claude skill files., Remote skill discovery/download is accepted without a pinned content hash., bootstrap.js downloads and launches a native agentplug-runner., ensureReady mutates project CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .gm/, and .npmignore., Bundled SKILL.md directs agent behavior through the spawned spool daemon.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., Network/download and daemon launch require explicit CLI/import execution., Downloaded runner and WASM paths receive SHA-256 consistency checks.
