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 package's install-time download and command shim serve its documented animation MCP purpose, with no unrelated data collection or account actions found. The downloaded executable itself is not present as readable source in this snapshot. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-29T21:57:25.751Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-29T21:57:52.819Z - **Download time:** 257 ms - **Static scan time:** 23 ms - **AI review time:** 26787 ms - **Total time:** 27068 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 install hook retrieves the advertised executable and the command shim launches it on invocation. - **Trigger:** Package installation downloads the executable; invoking rivemcp starts it. - **Impact:** No malicious impact was identified in the readable package source. The downloaded executable is not available here for source inspection. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-29T21:57:52.819Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The postinstall hook fetches a platform-specific asset from the project's GitHub releases, and the shim passes command-line arguments and standard I/O to that asset. - **Rationale:** The package's install-time download and command shim serve its documented animation MCP purpose, with no unrelated data collection or account actions found. The downloaded executable itself is not present as readable source in this snapshot. - **Files touched:** bin/rivemcp, bin/rivemcp.exe - **Network endpoints:** github.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package describes itself as an MCP for authoring and converting animation formats., Postinstall downloads a platform-specific executable from the project's GitHub releases host and saves it under bin/., The launcher starts that executable when the rivemcp command is invoked. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to rivemcp@1.20.0. - Review the evidence and your use of rivemcp@1.20.0 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.
