## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 18 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:** 0.1.0-rc.140
- **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 manifest has no install hook, and the flagged agent integration only prints setup guidance when explicitly invoked. Credentials are selected in relation to the API origin, so the scanner hints do not establish credential theft or another concrete attack.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-11T00:23:17.900Z
- **Finished:** 2026-10-11T00:23:47.132Z
- **Download time:** 770 ms
- **Static scan time:** 4509 ms
- **AI review time:** 23953 ms
- **Total time:** 29232 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 confirmed attack surface was identified. The flagged MCP integration produces setup guidance on an explicit CLI command and starts a service that uses credentials associated with its selected API URL.

- **Trigger:** A user invokes the runlot CLI, including its MCP command.

- **Impact:** No unconsented configuration write or credential redirection attack was established from the inspected source.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T00:23:47.132Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The MCP install subcommand prints configuration guidance; service startup obtains the API URL and its matching credentials before connecting over stdio.

- **Rationale:** The manifest has no install hook, and the flagged agent integration only prints setup guidance when explicitly invoked. Credentials are selected in relation to the API origin, so the scanner hints do not establish credential theft or another concrete attack.

- **Files touched:** package.json, dist/index.js

- **Network endpoints:** dash.runlot.io

### 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 exposes a CLI through dist/index.js and declares no install lifecycle hook., The flagged agent integration returns configuration guidance for selected MCP clients; it does not itself write their configuration., MCP service startup obtains credentials for the selected API URL and requires a token before starting., Stored credentials are selected by matching the API origin, while the default API is the package's own service.

- **Evidence against:** The CLI supports an explicit API URL override, so a caller can direct credentials they supply to a chosen endpoint.

## Affected versions and remediation
