Installation configures a project-local AI-agent extension surface and can alter existing OpenCode instructions. Later agent/MCP use can launch configured third-party MCP commands. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-17T19:50:28.131Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-17T19:52:09.385Z - **Download time:** 503 ms - **Static scan time:** 459 ms - **AI review time:** 100291 ms - **Total time:** 101254 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation configures a project-local AI-agent extension surface and can alter existing OpenCode instructions. Later agent/MCP use can launch configured third-party MCP commands. - **Trigger:** \`npm install\` runs \`postinstall\`; configured MCP commands run only when the consumer invokes the agent/MCP integration. - **Impact:** Can steer supported agent clients and enable MCP capabilities in the installed project; no confirmed stealth, exfiltration, or destructive behavior. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/sync.mjs, .mcp.json, .codex/config.toml, templates/migrations.json, scripts/verify-greenhouse-urls.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-17T19:52:09.385Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Project-local AI-agent config symlinks, instruction injection, and managed script migration. - **Rationale:** Source confirms an automatic project-local AI-agent configuration mutation, so a warning is appropriate. The mutations are package-aligned, conflict-preserving, and lack a concrete malicious chain; blocking is not supported. - **Files touched:** package.json, bin/sync.mjs, .mcp.json, .cursor/mcp.json, .codex/config.toml, opencode.json, .opencode/instructions.md, .agents/skills/job-forge, templates/migrations.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** \`package.json\` runs \`node bin/sync.mjs\` in \`postinstall\`., \`bin/sync.mjs\` symlinks package-supplied \`.mcp.json\`, \`.cursor\`, \`.claude\`, \`.codex\`, \`.opencode\`, and agent-skill files into the consumer project., \`bin/sync.mjs\` also modifies an existing \`opencode.json\` instruction list and runs package-defined consumer migrations., \`.mcp.json\` and \`.codex/config.toml\` configure MCP commands, including later \`npx\` execution of Geometra and Gmail MCP packages. - **Evidence against:** \`bin/sync.mjs\` scopes writes to \`INIT\_CWD\`/the consumer project and leaves existing real files and conflicting symlinks unchanged., The install hook performs local symlink/config/migration work; no install-time network or credential exfiltration is present in inspected source., The only direct HTTP use found is explicit URL verification in \`scripts/verify-greenhouse-urls.mjs\`, not an install/import path., Child-process use is primarily fixed CLI dispatch; no hidden payload, evaluator, or destructive command chain was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
