## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 20 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.156
- **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 instructions after an explicit command. The reported dynamic evaluation is schema-validator generation; the inspected source did not establish remote-response execution or credential exfiltration.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-18T17:21:06.342Z
- **Finished:** 2026-10-18T17:21:47.240Z
- **Download time:** 4067 ms
- **Static scan time:** 4823 ms
- **AI review time:** 32007 ms
- **Total time:** 40898 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 in the inspected package source.

- **Trigger:** The CLI runs; agent setup guidance is shown only after a user invokes \`runlot mcp install\`.

- **Impact:** No unconsented agent configuration change, credential transfer to an unrelated recipient, or remote code execution was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-18T17:21:47.240Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The setup command prints configuration text, while the MCP server uses credentials associated with its configured API origin.

- **Rationale:** The manifest has no install hook, and the flagged agent integration only prints instructions after an explicit command. The reported dynamic evaluation is schema-validator generation; the inspected source did not establish remote-response execution or credential exfiltration.

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 93.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes a CLI entrypoint and lists build, test, and typecheck scripts; it has no install lifecycle hook., The flagged agent configuration path is only printed as setup guidance when the explicit \`runlot mcp install\` command is invoked; that branch does not write configuration files., The MCP server uses a credential selected for the configured API origin, and asks the user to log in to that API or supply a token when none is available., The dynamic code generation is used to compile schema validators, not to execute code from a remote response.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to runlot@0.1.0-rc.156.

- Review the evidence and your use of runlot@0.1.0-rc.156 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.
