## Verdict summary
**Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse
- **Selected version:** 0.2.100
- **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

Review flagged AI-agent configuration or capability changes. This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%

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:** When a user runs connect or mcp-install, the CLI registers a Pantheon MCP server and writes agent command and skill files. Those files can influence supported AI clients to archive conversation material through Pantheon.

- **Trigger:** A user runs pantheon connect with a pairing code or pantheon mcp-install.

- **Impact:** The package can persist an agent extension across several AI clients and steer future agent actions toward Pantheon archival tools.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/pantheon.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T16:15:28.933Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Explicit multi-client MCP and agent-skill configuration

- **Rationale:** This is an explicit-user-command agent configuration mutator with broad cross-client reach and instruction injection. It lacks an automatic lifecycle trigger or concrete hidden payload execution, so blocking as malware is not supported.

- **Files touched:** ~/.cursor/mcp.json, ~/.claude.json, ~/.codex/config.toml, ~/.cursor/commands/\*.md, ~/.claude/commands/\*.md, ~/.agents/skills/pantheon/SKILL.md, ~/.codex/skills/pantheon/SKILL.md

- **Network endpoints:** https://www.pantheonvault.space

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** Explicit MCP installation writes Pantheon entries into multiple AI-agent configuration files., The installer creates Cursor and Claude command files plus Codex and generic agent skill files., The installed skill directs agents to archive conversations and existing generated or uploaded files through Pantheon tools., The CLI contacts the Pantheon service when the user runs pairing or connection commands.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare lifecycle hook., The agent configuration changes are reached through explicit connect or mcp-install commands, not package installation., Remote artifact handling downloads and stores bytes; no fetched content is executed.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to pantheon-cli@0.2.100.

- Review the evidence and your use of pantheon-cli@0.2.100 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.
