Visual feedback as agent work packets. Stakeholders drop pins on your live app; your AI coding agent reads each pin (selector, screenshot, DOM, thread, acceptance criteria) via MCP and ships the fix.
AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe scanner's env/network correlation matches opt-in licensed cloud sync, telemetry, and an explicit capture feature. Source inspection found no lifecycle hook, stealth execution, or concrete credential/data exfiltration chain.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
User explicitly runs the snapshot capture helper.
Impact
Installs playwright-core in the package directory; no install-time execution or credential exfiltration was confirmed.
Mechanism
Conditional Playwright dependency installation for browser capture.
AI rationale

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 90.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- Explicit snapshot helper can run npm install for Playwright if unavailable.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- Network sync requires a configured license key.
- Telemetry hashes the license key and supports opt-out.
- Capture navigation rejects localhost and private/reserved targets.
