Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 12 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:** 0.1.5 - **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 source ties the configuration writes to an explicit login flow that prompts for a Rally token, and the package manifest has no lifecycle hooks. The agent configuration and instruction-file changes support the package’s stated onboarding function, with no confirmed attack behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-17T04:21:49.762Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-17T04:22:25.467Z - **Download time:** 515 ms - **Static scan time:** 54 ms - **AI review time:** 35135 ms - **Total time:** 35705 ms 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 flagged agent configuration changes are part of an explicit Rally onboarding flow. - **Trigger:** A user invokes the login command and provides an agent token. - **Impact:** The configured agent can access Rally project tools; the inspected behavior does not establish unconsented agent control-surface mutation or credential theft. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-17T04:22:25.467Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The flow verifies the token with the Rally backend, adds a Rally MCP server entry to supported configuration files, and adds an onboarding note to project instruction files. - **Rationale:** The source ties the configuration writes to an explicit login flow that prompts for a Rally token, and the package manifest has no lifecycle hooks. The agent configuration and instruction-file changes support the package’s stated onboarding function, with no confirmed attack behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json, index.mjs - **Network endpoints:** https://rally-backend.fly.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package exposes index.mjs as its CLI entrypoint and declares no lifecycle scripts., Configuration writes are reached through the explicit login command, which prompts for a Rally agent token., Login uses the token to verify the account with the configured Rally backend, then adds the MCP server to project and agent configuration files., The onboarding flow adds a Rally instruction note to supported project instruction files. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to rally-project-brain-mcp@0.1.5. - Review the evidence and your use of rally-project-brain-mcp@0.1.5 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
