M9R CLI — connect coding agents, report live presence, coordinate bounded assignments, and record human-approved evidence.

AI Security Review

scanned 4h ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Source inspection found no install hook or verified unconsented attack. The scanner signals correspond to connected runtime, local terminal, and explicit session-capture functionality, so the package is clean.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

The CLI's explicit connection and runtime commands activate the reviewed features.

Impact

The inspected behavior supports the package's workspace and session features, and did not establish an unconsented attack.

Mechanism

The runtime watches bounded workspace files and reports events to the M9R API; provider capture setup writes local hooks or plugins for session collection.

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 84.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

package.json defines build and prepack scripts but no install lifecycle hook.
The flagged CLI configuration location contains default rule targets and limited read and session capabilities.
The terminal bridge reports bounded workspace file events to the configured M9R API using a connected provider token; the watcher starts with the hosted runtime.
Session capture setup is part of the explicit connect flow and writes local provider artifacts; the source describes the local Claude settings file and Codex hook review.
Inspected dependency manifests and source excerpts show ordinary ACP, MCP, and file-watching library code.
The cited runtime excerpts show reconnect reporting, file watching, and user-level autostart helpers.

Evidence against

Static hints flag shell execution, command-output handling, and agent configuration writes, but the inspected source did not establish an unconsented transfer or malicious control-surface mutation.
The package has network and child-process behavior, but the inspected excerpts tie it to its connected runtime and local terminal features.
