It also offers a local mode that dynamically evaluates submitted TypeScript in a Deno worker. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-12T01:15:47.600Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-12T01:16:50.343Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 1068 ms - **AI review time:** 61164 ms - **Total time:** 62743 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** At MCP runtime, the enabled execute tool sends submitted code, intent, the Influship API key, and supplied upstream client environment values to a Stainless-hosted endpoint. It also offers a local mode that dynamically evaluates submitted TypeScript in a Deno worker. - **Trigger:** An MCP client invokes the execute tool after the server starts. - **Impact:** A third-party code-execution service receives API credentials and caller-provided environment values; local mode executes supplied code under Deno permissions. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, options.js, code-tool.js, code-tool-worker.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-12T01:16:50.343Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote credential-bearing code execution with optional local dynamic evaluation. - **Rationale:** No malicious install-time behavior or hidden persistence was found. The default remote forwarding of an API key and client environment values to a third-party execution endpoint is substantial enough to warn, despite being an explicit package feature. - **Files touched:** code-tool.js, code-tool-worker.js - **Network endpoints:** https://api.stainless.com/api/ai/code-tool ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Default MCP execute tool runs submitted code in a Stainless-hosted sandbox., The remote handler packages the Influship API key and upstream client envs into a request header., User-supplied code and intent are POSTed to api.stainless.com., The local alternative dynamically evaluates submitted TypeScript and spawns Deno with inherited environment variables. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., CLI startup is gated by require.main === module; importing the package does not start it., The remote execution behavior is named and described in the exposed CLI option, and local mode is available. ## Public findings ### 1.
