## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 16 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:** 0.9.10
- **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 flagged credential flow is for Claude quota reporting: it is gated by an owner-enabled setting and sends the Claude token to Anthropic’s own usage endpoint. The package’s executable dispatches explicit CLI commands, and no install-time script or unrelated credential destination was found.

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 attack was identified. The package provides an OwlMem CLI and local MCP server, with vault operations and optional quota reporting tied to user configuration and consent.

- **Trigger:** The CLI runs when invoked; quota reporting occurs in configured auto-wake usage checks, and Claude quota access is gated by an owner-enabled setting.

- **Impact:** The inspected credential flow supports quota reporting for the package’s stated purpose; no credential exfiltration or unrelated automatic action was found.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-03T05:04:48.339Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The CLI sends its OwlMem token to the configured OwlMem service. When enabled, it reads Claude Code’s credential and sends that token to Anthropic’s usage endpoint, then reports quota status to OwlMem.

- **Rationale:** The flagged credential flow is for Claude quota reporting: it is gated by an owner-enabled setting and sends the Claude token to Anthropic’s own usage endpoint. The package’s executable dispatches explicit CLI commands, and no install-time script or unrelated credential destination was found.

- **Files touched:** owlmem.mjs, package.json

- **Network endpoints:** https://owlmem.com, https://mcp.owlmem.com/mcp, https://api.anthropic.com/api/oauth/usage

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest identifies this as OwlMem’s CLI and declares owlmem.mjs as its executable entrypoint, with no lifecycle scripts., Claude Code credentials are read for quota reporting, which the source says requires the owner to enable “Read Claude quota” in the console., The Claude token is sent to Anthropic’s own usage endpoint; the source says OwlMem receives only quota percentages and reset times., OwlMem API requests send the configured OwlMem token to the OwlMem service., The CLI dispatches work only when invoked as the executable, then routes commands through explicit command handlers.
