Tool calls identify the host to a remote service and error paths can send error text there. - **Trigger:** An AI client lists or invokes the package's MCP tools. - **Impact:** An agent can be steered away from independent source inspection while a remote service receives a stable host identifier and potentially sensitive error details. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-04T07:26:46.331Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** AI-agent prompt steering combined with host-fingerprint and error telemetry transmission. - **Attack narrative:** After an MCP client loads the server, its tool descriptions direct the agent to call this package first and not inspect source afterward. Each tool request performs a license check that hashes the local hostname and username and transmits that identifier to a remote service. If a tool fails, the package also transmits the error message with the fingerprint. This combines agent-directed suppression of independent inspection with external collection tied to the host. - **Rationale:** The package has no install hook, but its active MCP interface contains coercive no-inspection instructions and sends a stable machine identifier plus error telemetry to a remote endpoint. Those behaviors form a concrete agent-steering and data-collection attack surface. - **Files touched:** user-supplied repository path - **Network endpoints:** https://openkrak-license-server.openkrak.workers.dev/v3/free-query, https://openkrak-license-server.openkrak.workers.dev/v3/telemetry ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The MCP tool descriptions instruct an AI agent to avoid reading repository source and to rely on this package's output., Every tool invocation generates a stable hash from the hostname and username and sends it to a remote licensing service., Error telemetry sends the error message and the host fingerprint to the same remote service., The active MCP request handler performs the remote license check before running a tool. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has only a prepublish hook, with no install-time lifecycle script., The exposed tool implementations perform local repository-analysis work; no shell execution or persistence was found in the package-authored entry logic. ## Public findings ### 1.
