## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 19 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 0.20.1
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The package exposes an MCP API client with explicit remote or local code-execution modes, but has no install hook or hidden persistence behavior. The flagged primitives are package-aligned and tool-invoked rather than a concrete malicious chain.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-16T06:56:09.174Z
- **Finished:** 2026-09-16T06:58:23.321Z
- **Download time:** 758 ms
- **Static scan time:** 911 ms
- **AI review time:** 132478 ms
- **Total time:** 134147 ms

The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface was established. The sensitive network and code-execution behavior occurs only through the MCP server's explicitly invoked tools.

- **Trigger:** An MCP client invokes the execute tool.

- **Impact:** The configured API key and submitted code are provided to the selected code-execution service.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-16T06:58:23.321Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** User-requested API code execution through a configured sandbox.

- **Rationale:** The package exposes an MCP API client with explicit remote or local code-execution modes, but has no install hook or hidden persistence behavior. The flagged primitives are package-aligned and tool-invoked rather than a concrete malicious chain.

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.stainless.com/api/ai/code-tool, https://api.stainless.com/api/ai/instructions/influship-api

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 84.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The execute tool sends submitted code and the Influship API key to a Stainless-hosted endpoint when invoked., The optional local mode evaluates caller-supplied code in a Deno worker., Startup fetches MCP instructions from a Stainless endpoint., The reviewed local documentation module contains embedded method data, not collection logic., The declared scripts are test, build, format, tsn, lint, and fix., The remote code-tool handler sends a POST request to its configured endpoint., The TypeScript source sends remote code-tool requests with POST., The worker evaluates the supplied code and invokes its exported run function with an SDK proxy.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The executable entry point runs only when invoked as the command-line program., Remote calls and code evaluation are explicit MCP tool behavior, not import-time activity., No source showed persistence, broad file harvesting, destructive actions, or unrelated exfiltration.
